We have an update to the boil water advisory that's been affecting Kanawha, Lincoln and Putnam Counties throughout the weekend. According to a news release from West Virginia American Water, that advisory has been lifted for customers from Nitro to Buffalo on the north side of the Kanawha River, in addition to those customers from Winfield to Pliny on the south side of the Kanawha River including Frazier's Bottom. As of Monday morning, the precautionary boil water advisory remains in effect for customers in the St. Albans area, Rt. 60 from St. Albans to Rt. 34, Hurricane Creek Road, Rt. 34 from Rt. 60 to Rt. 3, Turkey Creek, Clymer Creek, Ridges Creek, Upper Coach, Upper Charlie's Creek, Sycamore, Winchester Drive and Sycamore Road. More than 10,000 people in Kanawha, Lincoln and Putnam have had no or low water pressure after a water main disrupted service. West Virginia American Water crews have been working throughout the weekend to restore service. If you are under the advisory, remember to boil your water for at least one minute before using for personal hygiene, drinking, or cooking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ West Virginia American Water has issued a boil water advisory for 10,000 customers living in certain areas of Kanawha, Putnam and Lincoln Counties. The affected area includes Nitro, Route 62 from Poca to Buffalo, Route 817 from Saint Albans to Pliny, Winfield, Frazier's Bottom, Hurricane Creek Road, Route 60 from Saint Albans to Route 34, and Route 34 from Route 60 to Route 3 (including Turkey Creek, Clymer Creek and Ridges Creek). Crews are doing extensive repair work to a broken valve at a water main river crossing in Nitro. To complete the repairs, American Water must shut down a 30" transmission main, which may cause low water pressure or a disruption in water service to the affected area. Affected customers should boil their water before consumption until further notice. MORE NEWS FROM EYEWITNESS NEWS
