Considering the ongoing Boiling Water Advisory in western New York, we checked in with Erie County Department of Health commissioner Dr. Gail Burstein for the latest.

Dr. Burstein offers lots of good information on the ongoing situation, and most importantly, stresses the community not panic.  She encourages all residents living in the current advisory to heed the warnings and boil water for any use.  Keep water running at least 15 minutes before boiling it, and follow all Erie County Health Department instructions.
