    Prepare for Potential Loss of Water Service and Boil Water Order

    Wednesday, September 1, 2010, at 11:00 pm repairs will be made to a break on the


    watermain that feeds the City of Auburn’s water storage facility. The City will try to
    repair the watermain without shutting down water service. If this is not successful, the
    City may need to shut down water service to City residents and municipal water
    purchasers. If a water shutdown happens, the Health Department will issue a Boil Water
    Order when the repair is complete. The City of Auburn anticipates the watermain repair
    should be completed by 9:00 am on Thursday 9/2/10.

    Water shutdown could affect all residents in the City of Auburn and those on public
    water within the Town of Sennett (districts 1, 3, 5), Throop, Aurelius (districts 1 and 2),
    Brutus, and Mentz.

    Residents in the Montezuma Water District, Sennett Water Districts 2& 6, Brutus Water
    District 3, the Springport Fleming Water District, Weedsport, and Port Byron will be
    unaffected by the shutdown as they will be fed off of their water storage tanks. Each
    water district storage tank capacity varies. Should storage tank use be exceeded,
    residents would be advised.

    The City of Auburn and the Cayuga County Health Department are recommending the
    public prepare for this potential temporary water shutdown and boil water order by
    having drinking water available to use. In addition, residents served by the water systems
    affected are asked to conserve water beginning 11:00 pm on September 1, 2010 until the
    repair is complete.

    If a boil water order is issued by the Health Department, affected residents will be
    advised to not drink the water for at least 2 days without boiling it first or use bottled
    water certified for sale by New York State.
    We are encouraging the public to watch the news media and the Cayuga County Health
    Department website http://co.cayuga.ny.us/hhs/doh for updates on this situation.
    Individuals with questions may call the City of Auburn at 253-8754 or the Cayuga
    County Health Department at 253-1405.

    For further information, please call:


    Anthony DeCaro, City of Auburn, (315)-253-8754, or
    Eileen O’Connor, Cayuga County Health Department, (315) 253-1405.
