The advisory was lifted on Friday afternoon, according to the Foxburg Water and Sewer Authority.

Foxburg Water and Sewer Authority Secretary Gwen Atwood said the advisory was issued after the discovery of a leak last Thursday.

A-C Valley School District canceled classes early Thursday after the advisory was issued, and was forced to remain closed this week at the water problems continued.

According to Department of Environmental Protection Community Relations Coordinator Melanie Williams, once a boil-water advisory has been put in place and the problem has been corrected, the DEP requires that two consecutive days of sampling must come back clean after the system has returned to normal operation.

Williams said the sampling protocol began on Monday; however, due to water having to be trucked in Monday to top off the tank and stabilize system pressure, the system was not considered to have returned to normal operation, so the sampling from Monday was omitted.

Samples were collected for testing on Tuesday and Wednesday, and while it wasn’t specifically required, Williams said Foxburg’s Certified Operator decided to collect another sample Thursday and wait for those sample results before lifting the advisory.

Those samples came back clean on Friday afternoon and the advisory was lifted meaning water in Foxburg is safe for normal use, including consumption.

A-C Valley School District will re-open open on Monday as scheduled.
