Hudson River Advisory LIFTED by Westchester Health Dept

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: August 30, 2011

HUDSON RIVER ADVISORY IN WESTCHESTER LIFTED

 

The Westchester County Department of Health has lifted the Hudson River advisory that was issued for points in Westchester County south of Tarrytown. Westchester County had issued the advisory for recreational use yesterday due to a sewage discharge from the North Yonkers Pump Station. The Department of Environmental Facilities notified the Health Department today that the discharge had ceased last night.  The advisory is being lifted because the elapsed time since the discharge was stopped has allowed it to dissipate.
