UPDATE: Police say all main breaks fixed, boil order lifted

ROTTERDAM -- The town-wide boil water advisory that was put in place over the weekend was lifted Tuesday morning by the Schenectady County Health Department, according to the Rotterdam police.

Crews have repaired the damaged pipes and water tested came back clean.

The ban has been lifted for the entire town and water can be consumed as normal, police said.

ROTTERDAM -- The same water main on Princetown Road that broke over the weekend broke again Monday night.

Crews were on the scene through the night trying to fix the damage and were still there as of 6 a.m.

The latest break means the boil water advisory imposed over the weekend will remain in effect even longer.

The town’s highway supervisor told CBS 6 these breaks are more common for all municipalities in the winter months because frost gets into the ground and the ground heaves.
