BECKLEY -
A boil water advisory was issued by the Beckley Water Company on Sunday, June 24 for Sweeneysburg Road starting at the intersection of Dry Hill Road and extending to Pax Road and Clear Fork Road along Spruce Mountain. Also included is the lower section of Maple Fork Road up to Burn Bowyer Road. All side streets are also included.
The notice was issued because of a broken main line. According to the water company officials, conditions indicate there is a chance the water may be contaminated. Water quality testing has not occurred to confirm or deny the presence of contamination in the water.
Residents of the affected area are advised to bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, bathing, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
Beckley Water crews are working to reestablish normal conditions and will inform customers when there is no longer a need to boil water. They anticipate resolving the issue as soon as possible.
For more information, please contact Beckley Water Company customer service at 304-255-5121 or 304-763-2691. General guidelines on ways to lessen the health risk are available from the EPA Safe Drinking WaterHotline 1-800-426-4791.
