BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A Boil Water Order has been issued for all Village of Fredonia and Town of Pomfret water customers until further notice, the Chautauqua County Health Department announced.

Officials said the scheduled cleaning of the water treatment plant tank resulted in water potentially containing harmful microbes entering the distribution system.

All Fredonia water customers must boil water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth and making coffee. Water must be brought to a rolling boil for one minute and then cooled before using. Boiling water kills bacteria and microbes that may be present within it.

Additionally, boiled or bottled water must be used to wash dishes by hand, but home dishwashers that reach a temperature of 170 degrees and have a full dry cycle are safe to use.

Water may be used for bathing as long as it is not consumed and it is safe for laundry.

Google Pay will now display card perks, BNPL options and more
Google Pay is rolling out a number of updates that capitalize on its integrations with other Google products, like Android and the Chrome browser. Starting Wednesday, people who check out with Google Pay will be able to see their card benefits and perks before selecting a card, use "buy now, pay later" through partners like Affirm and Zip and fill in their card details through biometrics or a PIN, instead of by entering their security code. The changes are designed to enhance the consumer experience of using Google Pay and make it a more competitive option against other payment methods, including the developer or retailer's built-in payment system, often powered by businesses like Stripe, as well as the payment services from other tech giants, like Apple, Amazon and PayPal, for instance.
