SARANAC LAKE — A boil-water order was issued Wednesday for the southeastern corner of this village due to a nasty water main break on Lake Flower Avenue.
Village Department of Public Works Superintendent Jeff Dora announced a boil water order for the following areas: Lake Flower Avenue from Center Street to the village line, Merrill Street, Colony Court, Turtle Pond Road, Crossfield Avenue, Duprey Street, Edward Street, Cortez Lane, Poplar Lane, Tara Drive and Will Rogers Drive.
Under a boil-water advisory, water should be brought to a rolling boil for one minute to kill protozoa, bacteria and viruses before it is consumed or used to brush teeth or wash dishes.
“It’s 7 o’clock, and I’m still out on Lake Flower [Avenue].
What does that tell you?” DPW Superintendent Jeff Dora said.
We’re down to the pipe, and hopefully we can make the repair shortly.
“It’s in a bad spot,” he added.
“We’ve already had two previous problems in the same general vicinity.” Sandy soil made the job harder since it kept caving in as crews dug, Dora said.
The break was fixed by midnight, and homes and businesses once again had water access.
