NEW PALTZ – Residents of New Paltz are still advised not to use the tap water for drinking, cooking, or making ice. Bathing, showing dishes or clothing is okay, according to Ulster County and state officials.

The village’s licensed water operator and state Departments of Health and Environmental Conservation are continuing to take samples of water in several locations, including the water treatment plant. The state is helping expedite the testing and the village hopes to have results within 24 hours.

Residents can pick up water at multiple locations today:

At village hall: bring containers to fill from a 6,000 gallon tanker at village hall (available 24 hours), and/or pickup of 5 water bottles per person or one case per household.

At Meadowbrook apartment complex: there is a “water buffalo” with 500 gallons of water at near unit 512. Residents need to bring containers for filling and it will be available 24 hours a day.

At Huguenot Park apartment complex (45 N. Chestnut Street): there is a “water buffalo” with 500 gallons of water, enter at Front Street and drive to the back of the lot. Residents need to bring containers for filling and it will be available 24 hours a day.

At Town & Country apartment complex: we are awaiting another “water buffalo” and will alert the public when it arrives and is available.
