A water system shutdown next week is prompting a boil water advisory for the Town of New Windsor Water System.

A water leak repair and valve replacement project will begin at about 9 a.m. Monday, Sept. 26.

Due to the possibility for untreated water and bacteria to enter the system, affected residents are being advised to boil their water for 2-3 days after water is restored.

Affected communities include Vails Gate Heights Drive, Mountain View Village, Old Forge Hill Road, Vails Gate School, and Big V Plaza Businesses.
