Rochester, NY, October 2, 2026 — A boil water order has been put in place for specific areas of Waterloo, affecting residents on sections of West Elizabeth Street and Center Street. The order was issued on Friday.
The directive comes as a result of a loss of water system pressure, which was attributed to water main breaks. This situation marks the second time in recent weeks that residents in this particular area have been subject to a boil water advisory.
The affected zones include particular sections of West Elizabeth Street and Center Street. The duration for the boil water order was not specified in the provided information. Residents in the affected areas are advised to boil their water before consumption or use for cooking and hygiene purposes until further notice from local authorities.
Details regarding the specific locations or extent of the water main breaks were not provided. The contractor responsible for repairs, if any, and the timeline for resolving the issue also remain unspecified. The water department’s response and investigation into the cause of the recurring breaks were not detailed in the information available.
This is the second boil water order issued for the area within the past two weeks, indicating a potential ongoing issue with the water infrastructure in that part of Waterloo. Further updates regarding the restoration of normal water service and the lifting of the boil water order are expected from the relevant municipal department.
