Residents urged to boil tap water in Watervliet after routine tests reveal safety concerns

WRGB · last updated

WATERVLIET, NY (WRGB) — A boil water advisory has been implemented for residents in the City of Watervliet.

According to Mayor Charles Patricelli, routine monitoring from April 13th, shows inadequate disinfection of drinking water. The disinfection is used to destroy harmful microbes in residents’ drinking water.

The New York State Department of Health says to bring tap water to a rolling boil for one minute and cool before using, or use bottled water.

Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth, and preparing food.

The advisory is expected to last three days until the problem is fixed, residents will be informed when tests show water no longer needs to be boiled.
