OBSERVER file photo A 65% property tax hike has been approved in the village of Fredonia.

The village of Fredonia announced Tuesday morning that the boil-water order has been officially lifted. Following extensive testing and consultation with the Chautauqua County Department of Health and New York State Department of Health, the water supply has been confirmed safe for consumption and all other normal uses.

Residents and businesses may now resume drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, and using tap water without boiling.

The village recommends residents:

— Flush household pipes and ice makers by running cold water for several minutes.

— Discard any ice made during the boil-water advisory.

— Replace water filters as recommended by manufacturers.

The boil-order was put in place one week ago and led to five water distribution drives at the Fredonia Fire Department. It was the sixth boil order for users in 30 months.
