WYMORE - The Wymore Rural Water System has issued a boil notice for all drinking water for patrons in a rural section of Gage County between Beatrice and Wymore.

E. Coli bacteria has been detected at one of the sample sites in the distribution system. Therefore, it's necessary for customers to vigorously boil water for one minute for drinking or cooking. You can also use an alternate source of water until sampling confirms that no further bacteriological contamination has occurred.

The Wymore Rural Water System is continuing to test the water and work with the Nebraska Department Health and Human Services to protect the public health. Anyone with further questions can contact the Lower Big Blue NRD.

The Wymore Rural Water System, which serves over 200 customers, had a boil notice last December after a break in a transmission line.
