Water Supervisor out in Mechanicville amid significant water issues.
MECHANICVILLE – Toni Rangela is spending five dollars a day on water she once got from the tap.
A boil water advisory was first issued August 2nd because of high turbidity, likely due to excessive rain.
Since then, the NYS Department of Health stepped in to assist with treatment procedures but also to establish guidelines for the future.
"What we’ve been doing is working with them to get back on track and we look like we’re headed in the right direction," explains Department of Health spokesman Gary Holmes.
The agency took samples Tuesday and plans to again on Wednesday.
The City is also testing and says its sample Tuesday was seven times better than what’s allowable.
"We have no reason to believe the levels will be anything other than what’s trending," adds Holmes.
Residents just hope the fix is a permanent one.
The DPW Director classified the departure as a resignation.
