Follow the AHS boil water advisory: HERE

AHS is conducting water safety testing for areas west of 60 Street. Once safe results are returned, the boil water advisory will be lifted.    

Why is this area still under the boil water advisory? Sixty West remains in a boil water advisory because of the proximity to the water main break. 

What Happened? 

A construction accident in Sixty West broke a water main on the morning of April 15, 2021.  

The Town is investigating the accident and will provide an update when the investigation is complete.  

Why the delay?  

After water main repairs are completed, the Town must wait for water safety testing results from AHS.  

AHS is responsible for implementing, and lifting mandatory boil water advisories.    

As soon as AHS notifies the Town that the water is safe, the Town notifies residents that AHS has lifted the advisory.
