Customers in these areas are advised to closely follow reports issued by Onondaga County, the City of Syracuse and/or the New York State Health Department regarding the health impacts associated with the algal blooms on Skaneateles Lake.
All other OCWA customers are supplied with water from either Otisco Lake or Lake Ontario. Both sources have been regularly tested for harmful algae (or microcystins) by OCWA and no health guideline exceedances have been detected to date. Further, our treatment facilities at both sources have granular activated carbon treatment systems in place to treat for the microcystins if they should develop.
If OCWA customers have any questions, they should contact our customer service department at 315-455-7061 extension 3335.
