(Kimballton) Authorities with the City of Kimballton in Audubon County are issuing a boiled water advisory for the community after pressure was lost to the distribution system from a water main break. Repairs are being made, and the advisory will remain in place until bacteria lab samples return negative.
Customers are encouraged to boil water that will be consumed or used for food preparation. Water should be boiled for two minutes and allowed to cool before use. Water is safe for showering, laundry, general washing, and outdoor use without boiling.
The City of Kimballton had a water main break while the new water tower was filling. This has caused the water distribution system to drain overnight. Crews will be onsite this morning to begin repairs to the water main. Currently, there is no estimated time for the repairs to be completed.
Turning the electricity/gas off to your water heater is recommended. Drinking water will be available at the City Clerk’s Office today.
Please be patient with City staff as this situation is resolved. More information will be provided to radio stations and the City of Kimballton’s Facebook page.
