MANURE IN THE RUNOFF??
Boil water order for village of Cayuga, part of Aurelius
A boil water order issued Saturday in the village of Cayuga and part of Aurelius (water district #3) remains in effect.
The order was prompted by murkiness, or high turbidity, caused by runoff and snowmelt in the village’s water source, Cayuga Lake. Village officials hand-delivered boil water notices to some 300 households (roughly 1,000 users) Saturday.
Cayuga Elementary School is using single service beverage and bottled water. The Cayuga County health department has asked customers to conserve water to reduce use of the village water plant’s operation. Until further notice, boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and preparing food.
QUESTIONS:
WHY DOESN"T THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TEST TO FIND OUT WHAT IS IN THAT WATER AND WHERE IT CAME FROM?
What kind of runoff? Maybe manure?????????????????????????????????????????????????
