In a press release, the City of Liberal says their water is safe. The release says that the KDHE notice released Monday morning was for testing done in April of 2021 and was mailed out of the city by KDHE on March 4, 2022. The reason for this notice was for two untested water wells. Those two untested wells were out of service at the time and were unable to be tested in April of 2021. Those two wells were and have been out of service since that date.
All samples taken from Liberal’s seven remaining wells showed nitrate levels well below what is required by the State of Kansas.
The City of Liberal says in the release that they apologize for any confusion this may have caused and reaffirms that Liberal’s water is safe.
