CLICK HERE FOR UPDATES ON THE BOIL WATER ADVISORY THAT IS IN EFFECT.

UPDATE AUGUST 11, 2026

FROM DPW SUPERINTENDENT CRAIG ROWELL

The Village Water Department will begin flushing the entire system starting August 11th at 7am. This will continue each day until the system is flushed out. The entire system may experience low water pressure and some turbidity in the water over the next few days.

This does NOT mean we are lifting the boil water advisory but starting the next steps in the process of the water testing.

At this time the boil water advisory remains in effect until further notice.

We appreciate your patience and will continue to work to get the advisory lifted.

Official Update: Village of Catskill Boil Water Advisory

Date: August 10, 2026

To: All Village of Catskill Water Users including Jefferson Heights, Leeds, and South Cairo.

Water Update:

To support our residents while working to restore our local water supply, the Village of Catskill and Greene County Emergency Services have partnered with NYS Homeland Security and Emergency Services to bring a potable water tanker directly to the village.

Where: Dutchman’s Landing Park (Back Lot)

When: 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM Daily

Details: Clean, drinkable water is available. Please bring your own container (5-gallon max size).

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we continue working through getting the Water Treatment Plant up and running back to normal.

We are still trying to get past STEP 1 which is getting the turbidity under the NYS required amount and keeping it there for 6 tests.

From there the system will need to be flushed for several days and then have more water testing to be complete before THE DEPT of HEALTH gives us the ok to put everyone back online.

Why is it taking so long?

We have the largest Reservoir out of all surrounding municipalities. We received 11 inches of rain at the plant in under 5 hours really mixing things up.
