Quoted Text
The Schenectady County Department of Environmental Health has issued a BOIL WATER ORDER due to a water main break for Rotterdam Junction in the Town of Rotterdam.



ALL RESIDENTS MUST BOIL YOUR WATER BEFORE USING



CUSTOMERS IN THE ABOVE MENTIONED AREAS ARE HEREBY ORDERED BY SCHENECTADY COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH TO BOIL ALL WATER FOR DRINKING AND CULINARY PURPOSES.

DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one (1) minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water certified for sale by the New York State Department of Health.  Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills most bacteria and other organisms in the water.

Harmful microbes in drinking water can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms. They may pose a special health risk for infants, some elderly, and people with severely compromised immune systems.  The symptoms above are not just caused by organisms in drinking water. If you experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you may want to seek medical advice.

Did this 'just' happen or is this something that happened last weekend during the hurricane?
