MORAVIA, NY (607NewsNow) – The Cayuga County Health Department has issued a boil water order in Moravia.

On May 13, a water line lost pressure due to a power outage.

Officials say a loss of pressure increases the possibility of harmful microbes in the water. Residents in affected areas are advised to use bottled water or bring their water to a rolling boil for one minute before using it for drinking, making ice, washing dishes, brushing their teeth, or preparing food.

In a statement issued May 14, the health department said the boil order will remain in effect “for the next few days,” and residents will be notified when the order is lifted.
