A boil water advisory will take effect on Tuesday (March 17) for parts of Troy according to Mayor Carmella Mantello. Residents in the Miami Estates, Hialeah Drive, and Grange Road areas will need to boil their water for at least one minute before using it for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, or washing dishes. This precautionary measure is necessary while crews complete water service line repairs.
The mayor's office emphasized the importance of this advisory, stating it is issued out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety and reliability of the city's water infrastructure. "We appreciate the patience and cooperation of residents as our crews complete these important repairs," Mantello said, as reported by NEWS10.
Additional updates will be provided as the repairs progress, and residents will be notified when it is safe to resume normal water use. In a related advisory, residents and businesses in the area of 5th Avenue and Hutton Street were previously under a boil water advisory, which has since been lifted following successful water line repairs, according to CBS6 Albany.
