Drinking Water Advisories
Watervliet City WTP has issued a precautionary BWA following a water main break and repair at the Arsenal yesterday. City water plant officials are warning residents of dirty water or low water pressure following the water main break.
Drinking Water Facility:WATERVLIET CITY WTP
EPA Status: No violations
Owner: local government
Location: Watervliet, NY
County: Albany
Watershed: Lower Hudson River
Active Permit: NY0110127
System Type: community water system
Population Served: 9889
Source: surface water from Watervliet Reservoir
From the Annual Drinking Water Quality Report 2022:
"The source of water for the City of Watervliet Water System is the Watervliet Reservoir, located in the Town of Guilderland. The reservoir has an impoundment area of 620 acres that captures water from a 112 square mile basin drained by the Norman’s Kill, Bozen Kill and Black Creek."
Capacity: 1.7 billion gallons
Treatment: raw "water from the reservoir flows to the Watervliet Water Treatment Plant. The treatment process consists of; pre-oxidation using sodium permanganate for iron and manganese removal, coagulation using poly aluminum chloride to cause small particles to stick together when the water is mixed, making larger heavier particles; sedimentation allows the newly formed larger particles to settle out naturally; filtration removes smaller particles by trapping them in sand filters; zinc ortho- phosphate for corrosion control ; and final post chlorination to protect against contamination from harmful bacteria and other organisms."

*Note that drinking water information provided on this site is aggregated from the federal EPA database, state resources and local government sources where available.
EPA publishes violation and enforcement data quarterly, based on the inspection reports of the previous quarter. Water systems, states and EPA take up to three months to verify this data is accurate and complete.
Specific questions about your local water supply should be directed to the facility.
The EPA safe drinking water facilities data available to the public presents what is known to the government based upon the most recently available information for more than one million regulated facilities. EPA and states inspect a percentage of facilities each year, but many facilities, particularly smaller ones, may not have received a recent inspection. It is possible that facilities do have violations that have not yet been discovered, thus are shown as compliant in the system.
EPA cannot positively state that facilities without violations shown in ECHO are necessarily fully compliant with environmental laws. Additionally, some violations at smaller facilities do not need to be reported from the states to EPA. If ECHO shows a recent inspection and the facility is shown with no violations identified, users of the ECHO site can be more confident that the facility is in compliance with federal programs.
The compliance status of smaller facilities that have not had recent inspections or review by EPA or the states may be unknown or only available via state data systems.
