MAYVILLE, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Chautauqua County Health Department announced the boil water order and water conservation order for all water customers in the Village of Brocton and water customers south of the I-90 in the Town of Portland have been lifted.

The health department said multiple water main breaks occurred Monday morning and led to the boil water order and water conservation order.

"The water main breaks have been repaired, the mains have been flushed and two consecutive days of testing indicate that the water throughout the distribution system is safe for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, making coffee, etc," the department said in a release.

The department also said residents who did not receive regular updates and alerts regarding the boil water order are encouraged to sign up for the NY Alert system here.
