Catskill Water Crisis Update | Albany News

Catskill’s water system is still under a boil water advisory two weeks after torrential rains flooded the area, forcing residents to boil all water before use — even for brushing teeth. Eleven inches of rain overwhelmed the infrastructure, clogging filters with cloudy, particle-filled water. In the meantime, a free water tanker stationed in the park is helping locals fill up bottles and jugs. Crews are now flushing the entire system, on step two of a multi-phase fix, with health samples pending. Updates are posted on the village’s website and Facebook, and the tanker will remain until full restoration. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
