Water main break leaves Hoosick Falls drinking water in question
A major water main break near the village pumping station cut water to most of Hoosick Falls early Sunday. Residents were told to boil drinking water until Monday afternoon. The line serving Oak Industries plants was found to be the source, and pressure rose after it was shut. Officials expect the Rensselaer Street tank to refill by Monday afternoon and then drinking water will be safe without boiling.
