Residents of the Town of Ontario are being advised to boil water for the next several days due to a major water leak early Sunday morning along Lake Road.
Ontario town supervisor Frank Robusto said on his Facebook page mid-morning that leak has been fixed, but the boil water advisory will remain in effect for the next few days as the system is flushed for possible contaminants.
"A low-pressure alarm sounded at the water treatment plant around 3 this morning.
The plant is staffed 24/7 and employees quickly responded to the alarm, tracing the cause to a water leak on Lake Road near (the) Ginna (nuclear power station)," Robusto said.
"We have miles and miles of underground water pipes, and the crew started physically inspecting each one (in the dark) to find the leak.
Any issues of contamination were not related to radiation from the Ginna plant, Robusto said.
Robusto suggests using boiled water for cooking, washing up and brushing teeth, while showering and bathing can continue as normal.
