Boil Water advisory in effect for parts of Whitesboro
WHITESBORO, N.Y. (WKTV) - Residents in parts of Whitesboro are being advised to boil their water following a water main break in the Village.
According to the Mohawk Valley Water Authority, maintenance crews were working on a water main installation project when another broken main was discovered on Clinton Street. As a result of the water main break, customers in the following area are under a Boil Water Advisory: *Clinton Street (between Curran Road and Oriskany Boulevard) *West Street (from Clinton Street to First Street) *Pine Street *Everley Avenue *Wagner Avenue *Edgewood Drive Following the restoration of service, a boil water advisory will be in effect for the affected area for 48 hours, or until tests show the water is free from contamination. During this time, customers are advised to boil their water for at least two minutes before using it for drinking or cooking. Customers are also advised against using any water that appears cloudy or discolored, especially hot water, since such usage will draw the water into the hot water tank, and customers will have to flush the tank once clear water becomes available. Customers should also avoid washing their clothes in discolored water, since it may contain sediments that could permanently stain their laundry. |
