The City of Milton and the WV State Health Department has ordered drinking water service discontinued in Milton until further notice.
That means the water is still running, but you should not drink it.
The City says its due to an unauthorized entry that occurred at about 2:00 AM Monday morning.
A person with the water system tells wsaz.com that someone tried to break into the building and that there was a breach of the back door.
In a release, the City says that it regrets the inconvenience and problems that this may caused, but given the directives which the City has received regarding the necessity for sampling and testing the City is unable to provide drinking water service to its customers until such time as the Order of Discontinue Provision of Drinking Water Service has been lifted.
The spokesperson also says at this time boiling the water is not an option.
