Water Restrictions in Irvington, Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow

[lauerz]

Residents are advised to cut back on water usage until Sunday.

Residents of Elmsford, Greenburgh, Irvington, Sleepy Hollow, Tarrytown and the Grasslands campus are strongly advised to restrict their water use from Friday night through Sunday morning due to impacts from heavy rains and saturated ground caused by Hurricane Irene and the remnants of Tropical Storm Lee, the Westchester County Health Department said Friday.

The New York City Department of Environmental Protection has advised the health department that it will shut down the Catskill Aqueduct on Friday due to high fecal coliform levels, which will limit water capacity in affected communities.

Residents are asked not to water their lawns, wash cars and to limit other non-essential use of water.

Water suppliers in these communities also have enacted water use restrictions and notified their customers.
