Mayor Jen White said the village's water department was able to restore service at about 4 a.m. following Saturday's on North Greenbush Road in West Nyack.

The outage affected about 15,000 Nyack water customers. This morning, service is back for all but about 50 homes in the North Greenbush Road area, White said.
