Weirton Utility Boil Order Notice Procedure

Do not drink the water without boiling it first. If you live in the affected area listed above bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it 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. Disinfection will be verified as soon as possible and the boil water notice will be lifted through local media notification.

​

Following refilling of the water lines, samples will be collected and analyzed. Results of the test will be available as soon as possible and the notice will be lifted as soon as possible.
