Boil your tap water, Hancock villagers

The Delaware County village of Hancock is under a boil-water advisory after a water main break on Tuesday afternoon, NY-Alert warns.

Water service was restored to the village quickly after the main break yesterday, according to village deputy clerk Monica Noble.

"Most people didn't even lose it, because there was still water in the lines," Noble said.

But the boil-water alert will not be lifted until at least Friday, December 7, Noble said. The village has sent a sample of water for testing to make sure it is not contaminated, and they expect to get the results back on Friday.

Residents with questions can contact the village office at (607) 637-5341.
