May/June 2020
Attention Commercial Customers:
The “New York On PAUSE” order from Governor Cuomo due to COVID-19 has resulted in many large commercial buildings and businesses with little to no occupancy for several weeks, including schools, offices, hotels, medical facilities, restaurants, health clubs, etc. This inactivity can result in stagnant water that can allow chlorine to drop to undetectable levels and lose its ability to disinfect. Chlorine is used in the Dutchess County Water and Wastewater Authority’s water treatment process in part to ensure that there is no regrowth of biofilms that could contain Legionella and other potentially harmful bacteria.
Property owners are responsible for the maintenance of their internal (premises) plumbing systems to ensure water quality does not degrade or becomes harmful to consume. As the New York On PAUSE order begins to lift some restrictions and certain businesses prepare to reopen, there are numerous precautionary measures that should be taken to ensure a smooth transition back to normal operations. The DCWWA recommends owners and managers of buildings and businesses that have been unoccupied during this time to take the necessary action to ensure their water is safe when normal building operations resume.
Every building’s plumbing system is unique, so it will be important to consider the design of your plumbing system when considering what actions you should take. Please consider using the resources below from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Water Works Association (AWWA) to ensure your building’s water system is safe.

PINEBROOK WATER SYSTEM
WATER QUALITY NOTIFICATION
August 6, 2020
Due to dry weather over the summer months, the water table in the area of the Pinebrook Water supply wells is low. As a result, the main well for the Pinebrook Water System is not producing enough water to meet the demand. The two back up wells have been brought online to meet demand, but both are known to have high iron levels. We are treating the water from the back up wells to the best of the treatment plant’s capability. Once the primary well is able to continually produce enough water to meet the system demand, we will shut off the back up wells and then flush the water distribution system.
We have kept the County Health Department informed on this situation. Iron levels in drinking water are regulated by the State Health Department as a secondary contaminant based on iron’s effects on the taste, odor and color of the water. Additional information on health effects of iron in drinking water can be found on the 2019 Annual Water Quality Report found on the DCWWA website.

Pinebrook Estates Water System - PWS ID# NY1322156
Dutchess County Water and Wastewater Authority
What Happened:
Pinebrook Estates Public Water System is equipped with three well sources. One of these wells is run constantly to meet demand, while the remaining two are used only in situations of unusually high demand. Through the month of June, the preferred well source declined in production while water demand throughout the system increased. In order to provide water consistently to all customers, the Dutchess County Water and Wastewater Authority made the decision to bring an additional well into temporary service on June 19. It was the understanding of the DCWWA that all required laboratory testing had been performed to ensure the safety of this well source; however, on July 17, the Dutchess County Department of Behavioral & Community Health notified operators that sampling for nitrate and for inorganic contaminants was incomplete or improperly documented.
The Following Steps are Being Taken to Correct the Problem:
Preventative Measures You May Choose to Take:
Some people may wish to consume bottled water as a practical measure to reduce their exposure.
Health Effects Language:
Nitrate naturally occurs in a number of foods, particularly vegetables. It is also used as preservatives in meats such as bacon. Nitrate is also used to make lawn, garden and agricultural fertilizers and is found in sewage and wastes from farm animals. It generally gets into drinking water by runoff into surface water or by leaching into groundwater after land application or improper disposal of sewage or animal waste. Infants are particularly sensitive to nitrate. High levels of nitrate in drinking water have caused serious illness and sometimes death in infants under 6 months of age. This serious illness occurs because nitrate is converted to nitrite in the body and nitrite reduces the ability of the infant's blood to carry oxygen. Symptoms of the illness can develop rapidly and include shortness of breath and blueness of the skin (blue baby condition). Exposure to nitrate in drinking water at levels above 10 milligrams per liter (10 mg/L) increases the risk of developing the illness. Because the effects of nitrate and nitrite are additive, water containing more than 10 mg/L of total nitrate/nitrite should not be used to prepare infant formula or other beverages for infants. Although older children and adults are generally less sensitive than infants to the effects of nitrate, those who have certain gastrointestinal disorders (for example, achlorhydria or atrophic gastritis) that substantially reduce stomach acid and favor the production of nitrite from nitrate may have a greater risk for illness than the general population.
Primary Inorganic Contaminants
This testing covers a range of chemicals that can be present in ground water. Exposure to high levels of these chemicals may result in an increased risk of cancer and other negative health outcomes.
For Further Information, Please Contact:

Dutchess County Behavioral and Community Health, Environmental Health Services 845-486-3404
JCO, Inc. 845-888-5755
Please share this information with all the other people who drink this water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses). You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.

The Dutchess County Water and Wastewater Authority is requesting that all of its water customers in the Pinebrook Water District institute immediate measures to reduce water use until further notice. The amount of water has been significantly reduced that is supplied to the Pinebrook distribution system due to system demand and higher than normal usage. Currently, Well #1 is incapable of keeping up with the demand and therefore, Well #3 has been brought online in addition to Well #1. Well #3 has higher iron levels which may cause discoloring but is safe to use. Customers will be notified when the situation returns to normal.

COVID-19 NOTICE
COMMERCIAL CUSTOMERS
May/June 2020
Attention Commercial Customer:
The “New York On PAUSE” order from Governor Cuomo due to COVID-19 has resulted in many large commercial buildings and businesses with little to no occupancy for several weeks, including schools, offices, hotels, medical facilities, restaurants, health clubs, etc. This inactivity can result in stagnant water that can allow chlorine to drop to undetectable levels and lose its ability to disinfect. Chlorine is used in the Dutchess County Water and Wastewater Authority’s water treatment process in part to ensure that there is no regrowth of biofilms that could contain Legionella and other potentially harmful bacteria.
Property owners are responsible for the maintenance of their internal (premises) plumbing systems to ensure water quality does not degrade or becomes harmful to consume. As the New York On PAUSE order begins to lift some restrictions and certain businesses prepare to reopen, there are numerous precautionary measures that should be taken to ensure a smooth transition back to normal operations. The DCWWA recommends owners and managers of buildings and businesses that have been unoccupied during this time to take the necessary action to ensure their water is safe when normal building operations resume.
Every building’s plumbing system is unique, so it will be important to consider the design of your plumbing system when considering what actions you should take. Please consider using the resources below from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Water Works Association (AWWA) to ensure your building’s water system is safe.
CDC’s updated building water system guidance
Please do your best to keep yourself, your employees, and customers safe and healthy and should you have any questions or need further information, please call DCWWA’s Customer Service Department at (845) 486-3601.
There are no alerts or advisories at this time.
