WATER ADVISORY & WATER RESTRICTION LIFTED

Due to a break in a Water Distribution Main, many residents within the East Greenbush water district are currently without water service. The Distribution Main is being worked on and will hopefully be repaired by this evening. Once the repair is complete, there is a possibility for low water pressure and discoloration.


All residents within the General Water District are under a Boil Water Advisory for 48 hours. This Advisory entails that residents boil any water prior to consumption for the next 48 hours. Residents of Hampton Manor and the Hampton Manor Water District are not affected by this.
