Boil water advisories in Kansas
Monitoring degraded
We have not completed a successful read of Kansas KDHE's list, so we cannot report what it says.
This is not a statement that your water is safe. It means our own monitoring is not current, so we cannot tell you what the source says. Your utility is the authority for your own water.
We read this state's own advisory list
- The agency that publishes it
- Kansas KDHE
- What that list covers
- Boil water advisories announced statewide by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment as press releases, one for each advisory issued, expanded or rescinded, read from KDHE's RSS feed and the archive page of the same releases. KDHE publishes no water-system ID, so each release is matched to an EPA water system by name and county; a name that matches no system, or several, is listed by name and cannot be subscribed to. An advisory ends only when KDHE publishes its rescind: one that leaves the feed without a rescind is not treated as lifted. The archive page holds the newest 100 releases, about fifteen weeks.
We read it on an hourly cycle. Monitoring degraded No successful read recorded

Questions about this page
- Does this page list every boil water advisory in Kansas?
- It lists what Kansas KDHE's own statewide list showed when we last read it, one entry per water system rather than one per notice. A notice a utility issued directly, and never sent to that list, would not appear here.
- Where are boil water advisories for Kansas published?
- Kansas KDHE publishes them, and its own statewide list is the list we read into this page on an hourly cycle. The link to it is on this page.
- How many water systems does this page cover?
- Our database holds 468 public water systems in Kansas. That is a count of what is in our database, not a count of every public water system in the state. Advisories are counted by water system, keyed on the system's federal identifier, and never by the number of separate notices one system has been given.
- Is anything on this page a verdict about whether the water is safe?
- This is not a statement that your water is safe. It means the state's list did not name your system. Your utility is the authority for your own water.
