AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoPublic Health Alert: KDHE rescinded a “Do Not Drink” order for the Qwik Fuel, LLC public water system in Thomas County after lab tests found no bacteriological contamination and disinfection equipment issues were resolved—but KDHE is still warning customers not to boil water because elevated nitrates can’t be reduced by boiling; infants under six months are especially at risk. Water Safety: A separate boil water advisory remains in effect for the City of Columbus in Cherokee County due to a loss of pressure that can reduce chlorine residuals and raise contamination risk. Community & Wellness: Hays is moving ahead with a $1.1 million “Lifelong Vitality Project” at HaysMed’s Center for Health Improvement, aiming for free, accessible outdoor fitness and gathering spaces. Soil & Land Stewardship: Kansas State University research suggests soil health practices can pay off, but profitability depends on how well practices like no-till and cover crops fit local conditions. Weather Watch: Kansas City area visitors are being warned about hot, windy, and potentially severe storm conditions ahead, with guidance to stay safe during fast-changing weather.
