Town of Ashland Water Department
Water system work/Boil water notice
To our valued water customers:
This letter is to inform you that the Town of Ashland has scheduled work to be completed at the water plant, located in the Town of Ashland Town Park, on Tuesday, August 18th. Due to the nature of the work to be completed, we must shut down the water system for a short period of time, most likely only lasting a couple of hours. We plan on shutting the system down at or around 9:00 am on Tuesday morning.
The repairs should be completed within a couple of hours, at which point the water system will be turned back on. Being that we are required to shut the system down, there will be boil water notice issued for the entire water system. The boil water notice will remain in effect until the completion of required bacterial sampling set forth by the New York State Department of Health. Once the lab results are received from the sampling, and forwarded to NYSDOH, we will have the approval of the health department to lift the boil water notice. This process will take a minimum of 4 days. Once we have approval from the health department, we will notify the public that the boil water notice has been lifted.
