Upcoming Woodford Dr. Closure for Water Line Work, Boil Water Advisory Issued

Woodford Dr. in Elkins, West Virginia, will be closed starting Wednesday, May 15, 2024, at 6:30 a.m. The closure, affecting the stretch from Diamond St. to the end of Woodford Dr., is for water line replacement work. The road is expected to reopen by the end of the week.

During the closure, a Boil Water Advisory will be in effect for nearby residents due to potential risks of contamination when water pressure is lost. No contaminants have been found yet, but the advisory will remain until water safety is confirmed through testing.

Testing will begin after the new water line is operational, requiring at least 24 hours for lab results. Residents should boil water as advised until the advisory is officially lifted.

Notifications will be sent to residents once the advisory ends. The local government and construction teams are focused on completing the work efficiently and safely. They thank residents for their patience during these infrastructure improvements.
