HUDSON RIVER ADVISORY LIFTED: HUDSON RIVER IN WESTCHESTER IS CLEARED
FOR RECREATION
The Westchester County Department of Health has lifted its advisory
for the Hudson River in Westchester. Residents can now resume all
recreational water activities along the Hudson River in Westchester.
This includes swimming, fishing, windsurfing, kayaking and jet skiing.
The Westchester County Department of Health is lifting the advisory
based on the results of Hudson River sampling performed by the
Westchester County Department of Health to date. This advisory
originally followed a fire that took the New York City North River
Waste Water Treatment Plant out of service last week. The treatment
plant is located at W. 135th Street and 12th Avenue in New York City.
The Health Department will resume its routine water sampling of the
Hudson River.
The New York City Department of Environmental Protection will be
providing updates on the situation as needed at
