UPDATE TO BOIL WATER ADVISORY FOR TOWN OF GREENBURGH WATER MAIN BREAK
1/19/26 AT 11:30 AM
To Residents of the Greenburgh Consolidated Water District #1,
We have received many questions regarding who should be observing the Boil Water Advisory as a result of the water main breaks on Sunday. This applies specifically to residents, businesses, and schools that have experienced either no water, low pressure or discolored water at any point since the breaks occurred. The Boil Water Advisory will remain in place until further notice, which will be at least 24 hours AFTER the repairs have been completed. The projected time for the completion of the repairs is by 5 p.m. today.
When in doubt, please err on the side of caution and drink boiled or bottled water. We thank you for your patience as the Town works diligently to make the necessary repairs to deliver safe and clean water back to you.
Regards,
Joy Haber
Greenburgh Town Councilwoman
Westchester County Health Department is responding to a water main break that may impact up to approximately 1,000 residents in Greenburgh, with possible effects extending into portions of White Plains.
The Westchester County Department of Health’s Division of Environmental Health is actively working with the Town of Greenburgh and its water operators to monitor the situation, support repair efforts and ensure appropriate water quality testing once service is restored.
When water service returns, affected residents will be placed under a Boil Water Notice as a precautionary measure. The notice will remain in effect until further testing confirms the water supply is safe for consumption and residents are officially notified that the advisory has been lifted.
BOIL WATER ADVISORY ISSUED
A boil water advisory has been issued by the Westchester County Department of Health and will remain in effect at least through Tuesday, January 20, 2026 and until further notice as a precautionary measure related to water main break/repair for all customers in the following areas served by the Greenburgh Consolidated Water District #1 in the Town of Greenburgh:
Between Sprain Brook Parkway and Central Park Avenue including Central Park Avenue corridor (north of Jackson Avenue and Fort Hill Avenue, south of Underhill Road).
Between Central Park Avenue and Bronx River Parkway (north of Clifton Road and Inverness Road, south of Old Army Road and Edgemont Road).
All streets on both sides of Central Park Avenue (north of old army and Underhill Road, and south of North Healy Avenue).
A boil water advisory means that those in the affected area are strongly advised to boil all tap water at a rolling boil for a minimum of one minute prior to drinking it or using it to prepare food, wash dishes by hand or brush teeth. The advisory does not extend to bathing, washing clothes or using a dishwasher.
The boil water advisory was issued as a precaution to protect residents from potential contamination caused by ground water infiltration into water mains as a result of the reduction in water main pressure caused by the water main break/repair.
Updates will be provided by the Greenburgh Consolidated Water District #1 in a timely manner and as they become available. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Greenburgh Consolidated Water District #1 at (914) 989-1900 or Westchester County Health Department at (914) 813-5000.
