SLEEPY HOLLOW, N.Y. (AP) — A dump of partially treated sewage has ended, and officials have declared the Hudson River safe for swimmers.
That includes the athletes in Saturday’s Ironman race off Manhattan, part of a New York-New Jersey triathlon.
Organizers say the 2.4-mile race will go on as scheduled. They say tests by New York City showed the water to be safe.
Earlier Friday, Westchester County said a broken pipe had been repaired and it had stopped discharging the chlorinated sewage. Its warning against contact with the river water was to be lifted at 11 p.m.
