The advisory follows a main break, which crews are working to complete as quickly as possible. The estimated time for restoration is 4:00 PM. Once service is restored, affected customers should boil their water before consumption until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms that may be present in the water. 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. 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.For the most up to date information on water service restoration, customers are asked to visit their MyWater account at amwater.com/mywater.
