Boil Water Advisory Lifted for Ossining
Tap water now safe to drink.
The boil water advisory for residents of a section of the Village of Ossining and the unincorporated area of the Town of Ossining who are served by the Village of Ossining Water Department has been lifted by the Westchester County Department of Health.Water sample results were satisfactory.
Since Friday, approximately 5,000 people in the affected area, which included streets as far west as Route 9; as far east as Morningside Drive; as far north as Hawkes Avenue at Bridle Path Road and as far south as Macy Road at Wolden Road, were strongly advised to boil their water before drinking it or using it to prepare food.
The boil water advisory was in effect until 5:15 p.m. Sunday as a precaution to protect from any contamination caused by potential ground water infiltration into water mains as a result of the reduction in water main pressure caused by a water main break.
