A Kansas Department of Health and Environment agent's visit to collect samples at Sundowner West Mobile Home and Trailer Park was cut short after an alleged threat.
Located northwest of Salina near Hedville, the Sundowner West Mobile Home, Trailer Park has been without clean running water for more than a week. More than 500 residents call this community home.
According to Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan, an employee of KDHE's north central district reported they had received a threatening message directed at Sundowner West's water rights owner.
"One of their [KDHE] employees had a voicemail message from one of the residents at Sundowner West saying that if the guy managing the water was there, he'd kill him," Soldan said.
No charges have been filed at this time.
