Water samples taken from homes and buildings in the village of Herkimer showed elevated lead and copper levels for the third consecutive sampling period.
Village water customers are advised to continue to let their tap run for at least 30 seconds or until the water temperature goes from room temperature to cold to avoid drinking water that has been sitting in the pipes overnight or for several hours.
