UPDATE: Sunday @1:00 p.m.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- West Virginia American Water has lifted a precautionary boil water advisory for customers in the Boone County community of Van.
The boil water advisory was issued late Friday night after a water main break.
Results of water quality testing have confirmed that water quality meets drinking water standards, and there is no further need to boil water prior to consumption.
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -– West Virginia American Water has issued a precautionary boil water advisory for all customers in the Boone County town of Van.
West Virginia American Water crews are working to fix a water main break that caused a service disruption.
Customers should boil their water before consumption until further notice. Bring water used for drinking, cooking, bathing and brushing teeth to a full boil for a minimum of one minute, then cool before use.
West Virginia American Water also recommends the following steps:
-Throw away beverages and ice cubes if made with tap water.
-Keep boiled water in the refrigerator for drinking.
-Provide pets with boiled water after cooling.
-Do not use home filtering devices in place of boiling or using bottled water. Most home water filters will not provide adequate protection from microorganisms.
-Use only boiled water to treat minor injuries.
Once the system recovers, West Virginia American Water will be collecting additional water quality samples in the area of the outage.
For more information, you can contact West Virginia American Water’s customer service center at 1-800-685-8660.
