Boil Water Advisory for Watervliet until further notice

The City of Watervliet announced on Sunday morning that a boil water advisory is in effect until further notice.

Mayor Patricelli says this is due to a failure in one of the chlorination devices at the filtration plant, and the levels went above the allowable threshold.

Officials say they have corrected the device, but need to conduct water testing according to the health department’s regulations.

They estimate that water will have to be boiled prior to use for the next three days. until the problem is resolved.

During a boil water advisory, tap water should be brought to a rolling boil, boiled for one minute, and cooled before using.

It is also recommended to use bottled water.
