The Onondaga County Health Department on Saturday issued a boil water order for residents and businesses in the Village of Jordan and parts of the Town of Elbridge after results from routine sampling confirmed the presence of coliform bacteria.
As a precaution, water should not be consumed without first being boiled for one minute and then cooled.
Bottled water certified for sale by the New York State Department of Health is also safe to drink.
Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice, the county said.
The boil order will be in effect and sampling will continue in the affected areas until tests confirm there is no more coliform in the water supply.
Additional reminders for residents in this area include: • If you use bottled water, be sure it comes from a safe source.
Use only bottled, boiled, or treated water until your water supply is tested and found to be safe.
• Boiling water when practical is the preferred way to get rid of harmful bacterial and parasites.
Bringing water to a boil for one minute will kill most organisms.
Residents seeking more information about the order may call the Onondaga County Health Department at (315) 435-6600.

The Columbia Shuswap Regional District Board voted unanimously to ensure members of the Ranchero-Deep Creek Fire Department have access to safe drinking water at the fire hall.
Currently the water system at the fire hall is under a Boil Water Notice as a precaution and an engineering assessment has identified upgrades needed to bring the water system up to safe drinking water standard.
The estimated cost of the upgrade is $60,500 plus taxes.
The funding for the project will be distributed from the Electoral Area D Community Works Fund.
Due to problems with the water quality from the original well at the Ranchero-Deep Creek Fire Hall, a water connection was established with an adjacent care home in 2009.
Currently, that care home facility is in receivership and unused.
As a result, the water system at the facility has been abandoned, with no one operating or maintaining the equipment.
As a result of the location and nature of the water treatment equipment, it is not possible for the CSRD to take over the care facility’s system.
The uncertainty of water quality has led to the implementation of the precautionary Boil Water Notice.
The improvements to the existing well and treatment of the of the water will allow for safe drinking water for firefighters at the Ranchero-Deep Creek Fire Hall.
