MAYVILLE, N.Y. Nearly a week later, a Do Not Drink water advisory is still in effect for the Village of Mayville.
The advisory went into effect on December 10, with the directive that residents should not use the water for drinking, cooking, food preparation, brushing your teeth, or for animal consumption, until further notice.
While the advisory is still in effect, Christine Schuyler, the Chautauqua County public health director, says a tremendous amount of progress has been made quickly.
The Chautauqua County Department of Health is reporting progress in the Mayville water health emergency.
Last week, the health department issued a “Do not drink” order for residents who get their water from the Mayville water system, including village residents and Chautauqua town residents who use the village’s system.
According to Christine Schuyler, county public health director and commissioner of Social Services, a new well was put into service Monday and is currently pumping clean water into the system.
“The water has been tested, it’s free of contaminants and it’s free of bacteria. It’s being chlorinated according to state regulations,” she said Wednesday during a Facebook update.
