HERKIMER — The entire village of Herkimer remains under a boil water advisory.

The advisory was put into effect after a water main break on Reservoir Road early Saturday afternoon.

The break has been repaired, according to village office staff, but samples must be tested and come back clear before the advisory can be lifted.

Repairs were made late Saturday and into the overnight hours, according to Water and Sewer Superintendent Scott Blais.

“Samples were taken and we’re hoping tomorrow they’ll come back with good news,” he said.
