The following Boil Water Order has been issued for Village of Fredonia:
"A disruption in treatment at the water treatment plant led to water that was not adequately treated entering the distribution system. This water could contain harmful microbes. Boiling the water kills bacteria and other microbes that may be present. All Fredonia water customers must boil water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth and making coffee until further notice. Water must be brought to a rolling boil for one minute then cooled prior to use."
In terms of the impact of this news on our school district, here is some information to know:
For the time being, our water at school cannot be used for drinking.
For the time being, our drinking fountains will not be available.
We encourage both students and adults to bring their own bottled water tomorrow, if possible.
We have contacted a local bottled water supplier about providing additional water to our district as soon as possible.
Our school breakfasts and lunches will not require any water to prepare and be ready for our students.
The measures above will remain in place until we get official notification that the order has been lifted.
For more information call the Village at 716-679-2307 or the County Health Department at 716-753-4481.
