From Bob Pear, Village Trustee and Defacto Woodstock Water Czar:
The latest info I have says that we will not be getting the 4500 gallon “water buffalo” of potable water. It seems the buffalo has strayed from its path and gotten lost.
We are now down to 15 pallets from about 60 pallets. Some of those 45 pallets that have gone out are still out there at key points, so everyone is still provided for, but what we must start doing now is boiling our tap water for consumption so we don’t run out of bottled water for those that can’t boil.
People can also buy bottled water at Mac’s and other places, (that may be even cheaper than the metered aqueduct water, ha ha). Still conserve please, we won’t be back to normal until the 8″ main is replaced, (this week I am told), and the main pump is replaced, (2 to 3 weeks I am told).

I bet a dollar, the water buffalo is in Woodstock NEW HAMPSHIRE, or maybe Woodstock NEW YORK !!!

Oh dear that would be unfortunate but not the first time someone (or a water buffalo) has ended up in the wrong Woodstock….

Folks with wells are being very generous with sharing water — you could fill up your water bottles at their houses.
