The boil water advisory issued on Friday for much of the City of Cohoes after a main water valve break was lifted Sunday afternoon.
The advisory covered nearly 3000 households.
The affected areas of Friday’s outage were put under the precautionary advisory until tests results found there is no bacteria present.
The main that broke on Berkley Avenue Friday dates back to about 1910.
The water emergency affected between 2,500 and 3,000 households in an area stretching from Cohoes Falls to the Lansing Pool.
Residents can now drink and use city water as they would normally do.

The city released a statement on Friday afternoon stating that Northern Health has cleared it to downgrade the boil water notice to a water quality advisory.
A water quality advisory does imply a level of risk with consuming the drinking water, but that risk is not serious enough for a boil water notice, or do-not-use water notice.

Unlike giardia, cryptosporidium cannot be treated using chlorination, so the city had to “demonstrate three weeks of satisfactory consecutive results sowing that the raw water shows no detection for cryptosporidium.” The clear cryptosporidium results combined with levels of giardia that can be effectively and safely treated using the city’s chlorination system enabled the boil water notice to be downgraded.
Ongoing monitoring The city will continue to test the water for both giardia and cryptosporidium twice per week for the “foreseeable future, until Northern Health determines it is safe to reduce frequency.” Health care providers in the city will also continue to watch for illnesses caused by the quality of its water.
Moving forward City staff is in the process of writing a report that will outline lessons that have been learned from the notice.
The statement said the information will be presented in February at a meeting of council.

Once again, residents across a swath of New Orleans were told to avoid drinking water from their taps after pressure dropped in the 9th Ward while Sewerage & Water Board workers were testing a valve Monday morning.
The affected area included portions of the St. Claude, Bywater, Florida and Desire neighborhoods but not New Orleans East.
Residents have long grown weary of the pressure drops and accompanying warnings that have plagued the S&WB’s water system, leading to 16 advisories covering all or parts of the city since 2012.
It typically takes about 24 hours for officials to conduct the tests needed to verify that the water supply remains uncontaminated.
The warning on Monday came while crews were testing valves related to work being done on the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project on Florida Avenue, part of a massive regional drainage project overseen by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, S&WB spokesman Curtis Elmore said.
During the test, pressure dropped unexpectedly, he said.
Under the previous standard, which only called for an advisory when pressure fell below 15 psi, a boil-water advisory would not have been required Monday.
Councilman Jay H. Banks, who was appointed to the S&WB at the end of last year, said he understood residents’ frustrations with the advisories.
