Precautionary Boil Water Advisory Issued For Salt Rock District, in Cabell and Lincoln Counties
Special to Huntingtonnews.net
Huntington, WV (HNN) – West Virginia American Water has issued a precautionary boil water advisory for about 3,000 customers in the Salt Rock District areas south of Route 60 in portions of Cabell and Lincoln counties. The specific areas are listed below.
This advisory follows a water main break that West Virginia American Water crews are working to fix as quickly as possible.
Affected customers should boil their water before consumption until further notice. Customers are asked to bring water used for drinking, cooking, bathing and brushing teeth to a full boil for a minimum of one minute, then cool before use.
Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms that may be present in the water. 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, contact West Virginia American Water’s customer service center at 1-800-685-8660.
