Boil Water Advisory Extended in Oswego, Carlisle After Water Main Breaks

Residents in parts of Oswego, New York, remain under a boil and conserve water advisory following a water main break on August 7, which caused a loss of water pressure and raised concerns about contamination. The advisory affects the area from 472 West First Street to Munn Street, including Burden Drive and the Munn Water District, and is expected to last through at least August 15 as crews continue repairs and conduct necessary water testing. Residents are urged to boil tap water for at least one minute before use for drinking, cooking, and other household needs or use bottled water certified by the New York State Department of Health. Additionally, conservation efforts such as avoiding lawn watering and sprinkler use are requested to reduce water demand. The city will lift the advisory only after testing confirms water safety and continues to provide updates via press releases, social media, and text alerts. Officials have provided contact information for residents with questions, emphasizing the ongoing nature of the situation.
