FRANKLINVILLE — A boil water notice was lifted Friday at 9 a.m. for households and businesses served by the village of Franklinville’s public water supply system.
The notice went into effect Wednesday as crews were shutting down a series of water valves to isolate and complete work on a section of the distribution system.
“When you have a potential loss of pressure then you have to shut off the system; it’s just a regulatory and a precautionary measure,” said Public Works Superintendent Cary Hatch on Thursday morning.
State regulations say the county health department must be notified anytime a municipality loses pressure below 20 pounds. It’s standard operating procedure to issue the notice immediately following a loss of pressure and to take two water samples to confirm the absence of bacteria, said Timothy Zerfas of the Cattaraugus County Health Department.
Hatch confirmed the advisory was lifted at 9 a.m. Friday.
