(**Alert!)Sinclairville water customers under Boil Water Order after water main break...

There is a boil water in effect for the village of Sinclairville... and, immediate area.  The county's Department of Health and Human Services is also asking all customers of the village's water supply to conserve water used for drinking and cooking.  County Executive Vince Horrigan's office reports a major leak developed last night in one of the water mains in the village causing a drop in pressure, and partial loss of water in the system.  Officials say... when the distribution pipes and mains lose pressure it increases the chance that untreated water and harmful microbes could enter the system.  The break has been repaired... and, the water is being re-pressurized.  You will be informed when tests confirm that no harmful bacteria are in the system and you no longer need to boil your water.  It’s anticipated the boil water order will be lifted by the end of the week.  For more information... call Mayor Tami Berg in Sinclairville at 962-9455... or the county Health Department at 1-866-604-6789.
