It’s World Breastfeeding Week 2025!

This year’s theme reminds us that breastfeeding is more than a personal choice—it’s a public health priority. Breastfeeding protects babies from illness, supports healthy brain development, lowers the risk of chronic diseases, and creates a strong foundation for lifelong health.

At the Linn County Health Department, we see every day how breastfeeding impacts not just individual families but our entire community. Supporting breastfeeding means healthier babies, healthier parents, and a healthier future for Linn County.

In conjunction with World Breastfeeding Week and the Linn County Fair, we are excited to provide a nursing and changing station located in the 4H building. This clean, private space is available for families to feed and care for their little ones during the fair.

Join us this week as we celebrate, educate, and empower families to make informed choices that benefit generations to come.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

July 31, 2025

Boil Water Advisory Issued for the City of LaCygne, Linn County Kansas

TOPEKA –The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) has issued a boil water advisory for the City of LaCygne public water supply system located in Linn County.

Customers should observe the following precautions until further notice:
• Boil water for one minute prior to drinking or food preparation or use bottled water.
• Dispose of ice cubes and do not use ice from a household automatic icemaker.
• If your tap water appears dirty, flush the water lines by letting the water run until it clears.
• Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at least one minute in clean tap water that contains one teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon of water.
• Water used for bathing does not generally need to be boiled. Supervision of children is necessary while bathing so that water is not ingested. Persons with cuts or severe rashes may wish to consult their physicians.

The advisory took effect on July 31, 2025 and will remain in effect until the conditions that placed the system at risk of bacterial contamination are resolved. KDHE officials issued the advisory because of a mechanical malfunction in the treatment plant which may have put the system at risk for bacterial contamination.
Regardless of whether the public water supplier or Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) announced a boil water advisory, only KDHE can issue the rescind order following testing at a certified laboratory.

For consumer questions, please contact the water system at 913-757-2144, or KDHE at 785-296-5514.

For consumer information please visit KDHE’s PWS Consumer Information webpage:

Restaurants and other food establishments that have questions about the impact of the boil water advisory on their business can contact the Kansas Department of Agriculture’s food safety & lodging program at kda.fsl@ks.gov or call 785-564-6767.

Our car seat safety technicians Cassie, Tiffany, and Holly, with the help of technician Danielle from Linn County Health Dept., completed 15 car seat safety checks and installs today at our Anderson County Baby Shower! In total in June alone, we have performed approximately 45 seat checks/installations!

Here are some Car Seat Safety facts:

• 46% of car seats and booster seats are misused in a way that could reduce their effectiveness in a crash. (NHTSA, 2022)
• In some studies and community seat checks, the misuse rate has been found to be as high as 70–90%, especially for infant seats and convertible seats.
• 59% of forward-facing car seats were not tethered when they should have been. (Tethering is crucial to prevent head injuries in a crash.)
• 1 in 3 parents of children under 13 move them to a seatbelt too soon, skipping the booster stage.
• Children in properly used car seats can be up to 71% safer in a crash than those in seat belts alone.

These are just a few reasons why it’s important to not guess—get it checked!
