Boil Advisory
October 23, 2026
In the early morning hours of October 23, 2026, the City of Buffalo experienced a water main break that resulted in a drinking water advisory. The water main has since been repaired, and the issue has been resolved.
As a safety precaution, the city is now under a Boil Advisory. This advisory does not mean the water is unsafe, but rather that there is a possibility contaminants may have entered the water system during the break. Until testing confirms that the water is safe for consumption, residents are encouraged to boil water before drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, or preparing food, or to use bottled water.
Due to required testing timelines, final test results are expected to be available by afternoon/evening, Sunday, October 25, 2026. As soon as laboratory results confirm the water is safe, the Boil Advisory will be lifted, and residents will be notified immediately.
We appreciate your patience, understanding, and cooperation as we work to ensure the safety and quality of Buffalo's drinking water. Thank you for helping us keep our community safe.
