Update as of Noon, Sunday, 14-Feb-2010 For tomorrow, all clear. Complete bill of health for West Danby Water. No more boiling needed.

Update as of 3pm, Thursday, 11-Feb-2010
Water has been restored to the West Danby Water District.

The Boil Water Notice has been withdrawn for households on NYS Rt.34/96, Maple Avenue, Hillview Road, and Valley View Road. Everyone else below the water line break (Station, Brown, and Short Roads) still should boil their water for the time being.

The Water Plant Operators are working on the problem, and are taking samples of water below the break. Once they get the "green light" on those samples, the Boil Water Notice will be withdrawn for all households in the Water District.
This notice may come as early as Friday afternoon, and almost certainly by Saturday.

As of about 1pm, Monday, 08-Feb-2010, a leak in the West Danby Water System has been noted. We're looking for it, so we can fix it.

Due to questionable water quality following a loss in water pressure, a precautionary Boil Water Notice (BWN) has been issued and will remain in effect until further notice. Until a written release of the BWN is received, consumers should to take the following actions:

• All water that will be consumed, or used in the production of foods or drinks that will be consumed, should be boiled for five (5) minutes to disinfect it.
• No one should consume water or ice that has not been disinfected, or consume drinks containing water that has not been disinfected. Raw foods rinsed with water that has not been disinfected should not be consumed.
• Laundry and bathing water need not be treated.

This procedure should be followed until you receive further notice.

Further information can be found in a Press Release issued by the West Danby Water Commissioners.

Individuals with weakened immune systems, infants and the elderly should consult with their doctors about extra precautions to minimize their risk of disease.

This notice will be updated as the situation unfolds.
