Feb. 3: Boil Water order issued for the Village of Fredonia

We have been notified that the Village of Fredonia has issued a "Boil Water Order" for all residents. This includes the SUNY Fredonia campus. 

Here is the information from the Chautauqua County Department of Health:

"Effective immediately all Fredonia water customers ... must boil all water used for cooking and drinking. There has been a disruption in the disinfection treatment, making the water not safe to drink. All water used for drinking or cooking must be boiled then cool before using. You will be notified when it is no longer necessary to boil water. For more information call the Village at 716-679-2307 or the County Health Department at 716-753-4481."

Here on campus, FSA will boil all water for cooking prior to use. All hot drink stations at FSA locations - i.e. Starbucks - have proper filtering on the machines. Cold beverages and espressos will not be served at FSA locations until the advisory is lifted. Cranston Marche will have bottled water to drink as the fountain beverage machines will be taken offline for the time being. Campus water fountains/filling stations will also be taken offline. Do not use the fountains/filling stations, even if one does not have a sign placed on it.

The campus will coordinate distributing bottled water to residential students.

We will share updates regarding the order as we receive them.

 

For all on-campus emergencies (police, fire, medical) contact University Police instead of 911!

Calling University Police for on-campus emergencies provides a faster response time than calling 911!
