Boil Water Advisory Affects Certain West Nyack Homes

This from the Rockland County Health Department:

A boil advisory for a section of customers in West Nyack is in effect. Customers are advised to boil their water before using it for drinking or cooking purposes. The boil water advisory issued for the following streets in West Nyack:

All Jeffrey Court

All Samantha Way

All Dara Court

All Snake Hill Road

On Old Mill Road, from Strawtown Road to Branchville Road and on Strawtown Road from Demarest Avenue to Old Mill Road.

Customers are advised to boil their water for one minute for the following uses: drinking, cooking, baking, washing dishes, making ice cubes, taking medication, brushing teeth, washing food, mixing baby formula, mixing juices or drinks, feeding pets or other consumption. Water does not have to be boiled for showering or washing clothes.

United Water emergency crews will collect water samples to monitor the safety of the drinking water. It typically takes 72 hours to administer tests to two sets of samples and receive results, so it is important for customers in the affected area to continue to boil water until further notice.
