As seen on the village Website:
Boil Water Advisory
The Village of Ilion is under a boil water advisory until further notice.
Compare this to what is legally required.
Epic failure.
Taxpayers being literally robbed when paying taxes.
Village can and does not even perform the most basic of services and government operations.
But according to NYSDOH the board seems to be extremely misleading and non compliant with NYSDOH:
Q15 - What does the boil water notice need to say? 10 NYCRR subpart 5-1.78
Each incident is different and will require some tailored language, but there are also specific content requirements for boil water notices
lists the content that must be in Tier 1 public notifications, including boil water notices. Water suppliers need to review this regulation for their own understanding, but generally boil water notices must include eleven information items:
• (i) description of the situation leading to the boil water notice, including area(s) affected, contaminant of concern and contaminant level (if applicable)
• (ii) date and time when the situation occurred
• (iii) potential adverse health effects, including standard health effects language (if needed) 1
• (iv) the population at risk, including vulnerable subpopulations
• (v) whether alternative water supplies should be used
• (vi) actions consumers should take, including directions for boiling water and when to seek medical help
• (vii) what the water supplier is doing to correct the situation
• (viii) when the need to boil water is expected to end 2
• (ix) phone number for the water supplier where the public can obtain additional information
• (x) phone number for the local Health Department
• (xi) statement in notices (if distributed by mail or direct delivery) asking recipients to further distribute the notice to other persons served
o 1 Under item (iii), standard health effects language is required if the boil water notice was caused by an exceedance of a maximum contaminant level, a treatment technique violation or involved violation of a condition of a variance or exemption. Standard health effects language is available from the State through your local Heath Department.
o 2 Care is needed not to mislead the public with an unrealistic estimate of when the boil water notice is expected to be lifted. For the initial notice, consider saying that the boil water notice may be in effect XX days/hours or more and that additional notification will be provided when it is again safe to drink the water.
Citizens safety comes first??? Not a truthful statement. Appears that their image is more important.
