A water treatment plant near the Kensico Dam in Valhalla is back in service 24 hours after a chlorine solution leak forced its closure and mobilized plumbers and electricians for repairs Saturday, officials said.

The plant processes drinking water for a variety of communities in Westchester, as well as being the last stop for much of New York City’s clean water supply.
