LEWISBORO, N.Y. - The Westchester County Department of Health has issued a boil water advisory for all Lewisboro residents served by the Wild Oaks Water Company.
The advisory will remain in effect until at least Friday, Aug. 30, and until further notice as a precautionary measure due to a disinfection equipment failure at the water treatment facility.
Residences served by Wild Oaks include Deer Track Lane, Fairmount Road, Boulder Lane, White Birch Lane, Quincy Court, Lowell Court, Guilford Circle, Park Road and Park Road Ext., Dogwood Court, Cherry Court, West Meadow Road, Wild Oaks Road, and Peach Court.
Residents in the affected areas are strongly encouraged to boil all tap water at a rolling boil for a minimum of one minute before drinking, preparing food, washing dishes, or brushing teeth. The advisory does not extend to bathing, using the dishwasher, or washing clothes.
Lewisboro Supervisor Tony Goncalves issued the following update on social media on Aug. 27:
“Currently, the water system has restored disinfection treatment and is back to normal operation. Liberty Utilities personnel will collect water samples throughout the water distribution system today and tomorrow to test for the presence of bacteria. Sample test results should be available within 18 hours of sample collection and submission to a NYS certified laboratory. Additionally, WCDOH staff will be collecting samples throughout the distribution system early tomorrow for testing. The advisory will be lifted once satisfactory water sample test results are obtained and accepted by this Department.
The advisory will be hand delivered to the affected residences by Liberty Utility personnel. Bottled water has been provided to the affected residences by Wild Oaks Water Company.”
