Residents in Onondaga and Madison Counties affected by the major water main break can now resume normal water use. About 27,000 thousand customers in DeWitt, Pompey, Manlius, Lincoln, Sullivan, and Lenox have been under a mandatory or voluntary water conservation order for about a month while crews repaired the pipe and slowly brought the system back online.
Commercial and industrial customers were also forced to limit use, and had to buy water from other systems.
Thursday evening, the Onondaga County Water Authority lifted the voluntary request after the reservoir returned to normal levels.
