A man�s dead body was found and identified in a water supply in Rochester, N.Y., this week, Mayor Malik Evans said during a Thursday press
conference.

Abdullahi Muya�s body was first found on Tuesday in the Highland Park
Reservoir after his body remained in the water supply for 25 days. As a
result of the discovery of the 29-year-old�s body, the city administered a temporary boil water advisory.

Evans explained that since then, there has been �diligent and continuous testing identifies no immediate concerns,� and the advisory has been
lifted.

However, the �Water Bureau is beginning to empty out the reservoir, and
the cleaning process will continue for several weeks,� Evans explained. He
said that the city regularly cleans the reservoir, but they moved up the process from May to March. It is expected to take �at least eight weeks.�

Muya had been missing since February and was last seen on Feb. 18,
according to the Rochester Police Department. Upon the discovery of his
body during the Water Bureau's investigation, it was uncovered that he
entered the reservoir�s gated spiked area on Feb. 24. �At approximately
6:30 a.m., he slid down the side of the reservoir into the water and
tragically died,� said Evans.

Deaths
"After entering the gated area, at approximately 6:30 a.m., Mr. Muya
appears to have slid down the side of the reservoir, into the water, where
he tragically died," police said Thursday, per CBS News. "There was no one
else present at the time of Mr. Muya's death and their [sic] does not
appear to be any criminal element to this investigation."

Muya remained �well below the surface� of the 15-foot-deep body of water
for just under a month, Evans said during the press conference. �He was up against the inlet structure in the shadows of the north side of the
reservoir which one could draw from that that they did not see him the
entire time that he was there,� Evans said.

Evans said that Muya was alone and that �it does not appear that there is
any criminal element to this investigation.�

However, Evans said that the discovery of Muya's body now "obviously calls
into question how could he have not been detected in the reservoir being
there that long." He explained that in addition to having spikes to deter people from entering, the reservoir's perimeter has heat and motion
sensors and security cameras, and is regularly patrolled by Water Bureau personnel and city security.

�I will tell you that we are working now to determine how we can address
any gaps in security to ensure no physical breaches of the perimeter
happen in the future,� Evans continued. �I'm very concerned that someone
was able to breach that water system as it relates to the safety of our
water.�

He said that the city will have further discussions regarding the federal requirement to cover water supplies. Evans explained that because the
reservoir is not covered, the federal government requires �extreme strict guidelines in terms of the water quality and water testing.�

He explained that those conversations will �unfortunately� have to
�resurface probably very soon.�

He concluded the press conference by saying because the city "invests so
much infrastructure as it relates to water," that "the last years have
shown that there are no issues with our water." Evans reiterated his main concerns are regarding the security around the water supply rather than
the quality of the source.

A representative for Rochester Police did not immediately respond to
PEOPLE's request for more information on Thursday.
