PRECAUTIONARY

BOIL WATER

NOTICE TO CUSTOMERS OF THE

NEWBURGH CONSOLIDATED WATER DISTRICT

PWS ID# NY3503578

Effective March 1, 2021

Due to an equipment failure at Chadwick Lake Filtration Plant, chlorine levels dropped below the required limit for a period of time.  Town personnel are testing chlorine levels to determine the areas effected and flushing water mains to bring chlorine levels back to normal.

The Orange County Department of Health recommends that all water used from this supply be rapidly boiled for at least two (2) minutes prior to use for either drinking or food preparation purposes.  Another alternative is to use bottled water, certified for sale by the New York State Department of Health. You should continue this practice until such time that it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Health Department that analysis has been performed to verify that the water is safe to drink.

If you have any questions relative to the utilization of water from this supply, please do not hesitate to contact the supplier or the Orange County Health Department at (845) 291-2331 or the Town of Newburgh Water Supply Department at (845) 564-2180.
