In collaboration with Johnson County Wastewater, the Johnson County Department of Health and Environment has issued a public health advisory to residents and businesses between Mill Creek Apartment Pond and 1900 Kansas City Road in Olathe, due to a 10-inch sanitary sewer line break. See map for impacted locations. The break was identified at midnight last night and has been repaired. The sanitary sewer line is now back in service. 

However, due to elevated levels of E. coli, JCDHE advises individuals to have no contact with the contaminated water in this area until further notice. Residents are also advised to keep their pets from making contact with standing water in the affected areas. This does not represent any impact/implications to the public water system (i.e. tap water). 

JCW will post signage in this area, is monitoring this location and conducting water quality tests to determine when this notice can be lifted. An update will be sent once this notice is lifted.
