OSWEGO, N.Y — The City of Oswego is under a boil water advisory on Thursday.

The city said Thursday afternoon that due to repairs on water main breaks, residents should boil their water for the next 48 hours. All of the seventh ward is affected by the water outage.

The city also advises to use bottled water by the New York State Department of Health.

Harmful microbes in drinking water can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms and may pose a special health risk for infants, some elderly and people with severely compromised immune systems, the city noted.

Officials advised boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth and preparing food until further notice.

For more information, please contact the Oswego Water Treatment Plant at 315-342-8187 or the Oswego County Health Department at 315-349-3557.
