Wednesday afternoon, the city of Fulton received notice that its second day of water samples all came back negative for E. coli bacteria. Meeting the health department’s requirements for two consecutive testing days with clean samples, the city lifted the boil water advisory that had been in place since Saturday. With proof that the water is safe, Fulton officials say they are happy to get back to a normal routine.
As the mayor and Fulton Common Council explained the situation they faced this past weekend that resulted in a boil water advisory, lawmakers were in hot water with some residents over their approach to public notification. The city is waiting now for test results that could lift the advisory today.
Andrew J. Stoughtenger, 20, of Oswego was arrested Tuesday in connection with the attempted burglary of a residence in the town of LaFayette. Pending in Oswego County Court, Stoughtenger was indicted in July on 12 counts of second-degree burglary. In light of his recent arrest, the local district attorney’s office may have the opportunity to bring Stoughtenger back to the Oswego County jail.
