Boil water advisory issued for parts of Seneca County

The Seneca County Health Department has issued a boil water advisory for parts of the county.

Customers of the Town of Seneca Falls Water District, Fayette Water District #3, Fayette Water District #7, and Varick Water District #4 are ordered to boil water after the water system lost pressure due to a water main break on Tuesday.

Officials say when the distribution pipes and mains lose pressure it increased the chance that untreated water and harmful microbes could enter the system.

Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice.
