Boil Water Advisory Rescinded for the city of Frontenac, Crawford County
Press Releases - Boil Water Advisories Posted on May 18, 2026 | Last Updated on May 18, 2026

The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has rescinded a boil water advisory for the city of Frontenac public water supply system located in Crawford County. The advisory was issued because of waterline breaks resulting in a loss of pressure in the distribution system. In addition, the city could not maintain the minimum required chlorine residual due to equipment failure. Failure to maintain adequate pressure and required chlorine residual levels may put the system at risk for 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 notice following testing at a certified laboratory.

Laboratory testing of drinking water samples collected from the city of Frontenac 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: 620-231-9210 or you may call KDHE at 785-296-5514. For consumer information please visit our webpage: https://www.kdhe.ks.gov/468/Disruption-in-Water-Service.

The boil water advisory has officially been lifted.
A few quick steps for everyone at home:

Run cold water taps for a couple minutes to flush your lines
Toss old ice and let your ice maker cycle a few fresh batches
Replace fridge or faucet filters
Discard any water or drinks made during the advisory
Normal water use can resume once these steps are done.

Thank you again for your patience and steady attitude through all of this....Frontenac showed its resilience once again.

I want to personally thank everyone for their patience and understanding since early Thursday morning. Moments like this remind me why Frontenac is such a strong and resilient community. We look out for each other, we stay steady, and we get through challenges together.

BOIL ORDER NOTICE

The City of Frontenac is currently experiencing no water service due to a major waterline break. Once water service is restored, the city will immediately be under a boil order until further notice.

This break has caused issues within other parts of our water system infrastructure. As a precaution, all residents and businesses using City of Frontenac water should boil water before consumption once service is restored.

Please boil water used for:

• Drinking
• Cooking
• Making ice
• Brushing teeth
• Preparing food

Bring water to a rolling boil for at least one (1) minute before use.

City crews are actively working to repair the break and restore service as quickly as possible. We will continue providing updates and will notify the public immediately once water service is restored and again when the boil order has been lifted.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this situation.

Please see the first comment below for more detailed boil order instructions and safety information.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the incredible mothers, grandmothers, and mother figures in our community💐

Motherhood is filled with countless unseen sacrifices, unconditional love, and quiet acts of courage that often go unrecognized. Through good times and bad, you continued to show up with love in your hearts and care in your hands.

Today, we celebrate the women whose strength carried families through both the joyful moments and the difficult seasons of life. Your compassion, wisdom, patience, and grace have left a lasting impact on generations.

Thank you for the lives you’ve touched, the memories you’ve created, and the example you continue to set every single day. We are so grateful for each of you.

Wishing you a beautiful Mother’s Day filled with love, appreciation, and special moments with those you hold dear.💗

📢 Frontenac Voters — Quick Heads Up!

The Crawford County Clerk’s Office has permanently moved our polling location from Sacred Heart to the Frontenac Senior Citizens Center at 113 N. Crawford St, Frontenac, KS 66763.

The special election was a trial run, and the county got great feedback from poll workers and (most of) the community, so this is now our official voting home.

Help us spread the word early. If we start now, maybe by the next election we won’t have half the town wandering into Sacred Heart wondering where the voting machines went… we’re all creatures of habit, and some of us could probably drive to the old spot with our eyes closed.

Official release will be attached
