West Virginia American Water has lifted the precautionary boil water advisory for approximately 600 customers in the Elkview/Clendenin area.

Equipment (Jordan Creek Road) up to Matics Funeral Home, Kelly Hill Subdivision and Twin Oaks Subdivision. The October 1, 2012 advisory was caused by a power outage at a booster station which drained a storage tank.
Results of water quality testing have confirmed that water quality meets drinking water standards. Therefore, there is no further need to boil water prior to consumption.
