Write a commentThe water supply to the City of Oswego has been restored as of 3:30pm today. National Grid was able to identify the power issue that caused an outage to the City of Oswego water treatment facility, as well as parts of SUNY Oswego and the NRG steam station.
Oswego city officials were notified of the water outage at about 1:30pm, which affected the water infastructure in most parts of the City of Oswego. The Oswego Fire Department activated the Emergency Operations Center (EOC), and secured mutual aid water tankers from the Palermo and Granby Volunteer Fire Departments. Our fire engines carry 1,000 gallons of water, and these tankers from the mutual aid companies were on hand to augment the available water supply in case of a fire.
The 911 center issued a hypertext message to all City of Oswego residents to assist in the communications process.
Officials have confirmed that the water supply is safe, and back to normal operations.
No injuries or major incidents were reported.
Special thanks to the Palermo VFD, Granby VFD, the Oswego County Fire Coordinator's Office, Menter Ambulance, National Grid, and all of the City of Oswego Departments that assisted during the outage.
