The water main
break that flooded the basement
at the Gideon Putnam in Saratoga Springs has shuttered the hotel for
at least another four weeks and has forced the
temporary layoff of 70 employees.
The Erie County Water Authority is extending the
temporary water restrictions in the Southtowns until
at least Aug. 17, due to «unforeseen complications» while repairing the water main
break at its Sturgeon Point Treatment Plant.
