The Borough of North East would like to announce that the Water Boil Advisory that was issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) on Friday, December 20, 2024 has been effectively lifted as of Thursday, December 26, 2024.
The Borough has complied with all of the mandates of the Field Order issued as a result of slight tears in the finished water cover at Fairchild Reservoir. The cover has been repaired and certified, the reservoir has been evacuated and the entire distribution system has been flushed. The Borough continued to monitor its water quality prior to, during and after this advisory and has produced clean test results certified by an accredited laboratory. The Borough would like to assure its residential, commercial and industrial customers that delivering quality water remains our top priority. Please feel free and contact me directly with any questions or concerns.
