Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing teeth, and preparing food until further notice.

This Boil Water Notice applies to residents of the Town of Colonie and Village of Colonie.

Harmful microbes in drinking water can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms and may pose a special health risk for infants, some elderly, and people with severely compromised immune systems. But these symptoms are not just caused by microbes in drinking water. If you experience any of these symptoms and they persist, you should seek medical advice.

Once isolated, pressures are expected to rebuild and return to normal. In addition, Latham Water District staff have activated the emergency interconnect system with the City of Albany to assist in restoring the system pressure.

Once the repair is made, it is likely that you will need to boil water for the next 2 days. You will be informed when tests confirm that you no longer need to boil your water.
