Topeka's Water Crisis: Flushing, Boiling, and Emergency Declarations
TL;DR Summary
City of Topeka officials have asked water customers to start flushing their water supply systems while the city remains under a Boil Water Advisory. Customers are advised to run indoor faucets for 10-15 minutes to ensure fresh water reaches every customer, with additional flushing recommended for larger water heaters. The advisory will remain in place until the city meets testing requirements set by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, with the earliest potential lift date being Friday, Jan. 19.
