Village of Fonda Public Notice December 6, 2024, 12 PM
Follow-Up: Boil Water Advisory – Lifted
Dear Residents and Businesses,
The boil water advisory in your area has been officially lifted. The water supply has been tested and meets all safety and quality standards, so regular water use may now resume.
- Hogans Alley
- Park Street
- Railroad East
- S. Bridge Street
- S. Center Street
- S. Broadway Street
- All areas south of the railroad from the Town of Mohawk offices to the Fonda Fairgrounds
The New York State Department of Health recommends the following steps after a boil water advisory is lifted:
- Flush Your Pipes:
- Run all cold water faucets for at least five minutes.
- If your home has multiple levels, start at the top floor and work your way down.
- Flush Appliances:
- Clear any standing water from automatic ice makers and water dispensers.
- Run at least two batches of ice and discard them.
- Replace Filters:
- Replace any water filters in refrigerators, faucets, or other devices. Filters may trap contaminants and should not be reused.
- If you removed filters before the boil water advisory was issued, we recommend keeping them bypassed or removed while flushing your lines. Reinstall or replace them only after flushing is complete.
- Check for Air in Pipes:
- If your water appears cloudy or sputters, let it run until it clears. This is normal and occurs as air exits the pipes.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this advisory. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Village of Fonda ([email protected]) or visit the NYS Health website for additional information.
Water Appearance Notice
Due to fluctuations in water pressure during the repair process, some users may notice their water appears milky. This is caused by tiny air bubbles in the water that are not visible to the naked eye. This is normal and not a cause for concern. The water is safe for bathing, cleaning, and similar uses. We recommend draining lines to remove air.
Sincerely,
Village of Fonda
