A little Easter Fun!

Houses at RANDOM have been chosen for an egging! Eggs have been hidden in your yard and finding them shouldn’t be to hard. Check out the local parks and businesses for some added treats to find.

Please do not go into someone else’s yard. If your house was not randomly chosen take a trip to a public area (park, local business, school, etc.) and get your hunt on. Over 2000 eggs have been distributed across the entire city.

Thank you to our sponsors: City of Galena, Galena Parks N Rec, Rose Construction, Dairy Queen, Sonic, Beautiful Chaos, and JBirds!

Boil Water Advisory Rescinded for the City of Galena

https://www.kdhe.ks.gov/civicalerts.aspx?AID=502

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has rescinded a boil water advisory for the City of Galena public water supply system located in Cherokee County. The advisory was issued because of a waterline break resulting in a loss of pressure in the distribution system.  Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.   

Public water suppliers in Kansas take all measures necessary to notify customers quickly after a system failure or shutdown. Regardless of whether it’s the supplier or KDHE that announces a boil water advisory, KDHE will issue the rescind order following testing at a certified laboratory. 

Laboratory testing samples collected from the City of Galena indicate no evidence of bacteriological contamination and all other conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination are deemed by KDHE officials to be resolved.   

For consumer questions, please contact the water system at 620-783-5265 or you may call KDHE at 785-296-5514. For consumer information please visit KDHE’s PWS Consumer Information webpage:  kdhe.ks.gov/waterdisruption.

Water Boil Advisory

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued a boil water advisory for the City of Galena public water supply system located in Cherokee County.

Customers should observe the following precautions until further notice: https://www.kdhe.ks.gov/DocumentCenter/View/2599/Boil-Water-Advisory-Consumer-Information-PDF

  • Boil water for one minute prior to drinking or food preparation or use bottled water.
  • Dispose of ice cubes and do not use ice from a household automatic icemaker.
  • If your tap water appears dirty, flush the water lines by letting the water run until it clears.
  • Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at least one minute in clean tap water that contains one teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon of water.
  • Water used for bathing does not generally need to be boiled. Supervision of children is necessary while bathing so that water is not ingested. Persons with cuts or severe rashes may wish to consult their physicians.

The advisory took effect on December 17 and will remain in effect until the conditions that placed the system at risk of bacterial contamination are resolved.

KDHE officials issued the advisory because of a waterline break resulting in a loss of pressure in the distribution system. Failure to maintain adequate pressure may result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.
