Some Fonda residents under limited boil water advisory after water main break

VILLAGE OF FONDA, N.Y. (WRGB) — A boil water order is in effect in Montgomery County after a reported water main break, a spokesperson with the sheriff’s office said Saturday.

A release from the Village of Fonda noted that there was a water main break on Wednesday, and argued residents in the Route 5 West and Hickory Hill Road area to boil water before using it for consumption.

“We will draw and retest water samples specific to this area on Monday,” village officials said in a release. “We are very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.”

According to a release, bottled water will be available for affected residents at the Village Municipal Building on Monday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

This limited boil water advisory comes after a weeks-long boil water advisory that stretched through July. See below for additional coverage:
