Boil Water Order In Spring Valley

A boil water order was issued around 4 p.m. for residents on Union Road and Jasinski Road in Spring Valley. United Water reported a contractor working on a Rockland County sewer project broke a six-inch water main on Union Road and Jasinski Road.

The boil water order is in effect for the following addresses:

•  Union Road #23, 27, 28, 30, 32, 33, 34, 36, 38, 40, 45, 53, 55, 68, 70
•  Jasinski Road #1, 2, 4

Under the boil water order issued by the Rockland County Health Department, customers are ordered to boil their water before using it for drinking or cooking purposes. The boil water order is a precautionary measure following a main break in the area. Loss of pressure in a water main increases the chance that untreated water and harmful microbes could enter the system. Customers must boil their water until further notice.

Customers are ordered to boil their water for one minute for the following uses: drinking, cooking, baking, washing dishes, making ice cubes, taking medication, brushing teeth, washing food, mixing baby formula, mixing juices or drinks, feeding pets or other consumption. Water does not have to be boiled for showering or washing clothes.
