09/05/11 Warning: The Whitby School Is Under A Boil Water Advisory

The Whitby School in Greenwich remained under a boil water advisory Tuesday following Tropical Storm Irene.

The state Department of Public Health issued the advisory because the school's well system may have been compromised in the wake of Tropical Storm Irene on August 28th.

Following significant storms contaminated groundwater can flow into a well.

The state health department issued similar advisories for more than 90 public water sites statewide in the immediate aftermath of the storm.

The advisory will remain in effect until the school receives test results showing the water is not contaminated.

Signs warning of the advisory are posted at the school.
