BROCTON -- A Boil Water Order from the Chautauqua County Health Department has been lifted, as of Friday afternoon shortly before 3 p.m.
The order was put in place after multiple water line breaks in the Village of Brocton and the Town of Portland earlier this week. Three sizable holes were discovered -- at the Lakeview Shock Incarceration Correctional Facility, as well as on Peerless Street and on Fuller Road, just east of Pecor Street.
The breaks were addressed by village and town workers prior to Wednesday evening's Brocton Village Board meeting, where their efforts were recognized. Deputy Mayor Bryan Woleben offered his thanks and thanks on behalf of Mayor Craig Miller to Chadwick Bay Intermunicipal Water Works, Rich Lewis, Ken Becker, Sam Alaimo, and all the workers who assisted with patching the breaks.
"Really, a big thank you to you guys. You guys really hustled and got things back up to snuff," Woleben said.
The Boil Water Order remained in place until two consecutive days of testing indicated that the water throughout the distribution system -- for all water customers in the Village of Brocton and for Town of Portland customers that are South of Interstate 90 -- was deemed safe for consumption.
