FREDONIA, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Chautauqua County Health Department announced Wednesday that the boil water order for Village of Fredonia customers has been lifted.
Water leaving the village's treatment plant has been treated since late Sunday. Consecutive sample results of the water have shown that it is safe for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, making coffee, etc.
Plumbing lines that have not been used regularly since the boil water order went into effect should be flushed before any water from that line is consumed. This includes ice makers and refrigerator water dispensers.
According to the health department, the order was issued following a disruption at the water treatment plant which allowed untreated water to enter the distribution system.
