The Moundsville Water Board has issued a boil order for several areas following a scheduled water service shutdown. This shutdown, necessary for installing a new waterline connection, will improve water stability and fire protection in the affected areas.

Residents on 9th Street from Parriott Avenue to Henrietta Avenue, 10th Street from Parriott Avenue to Garfield Avenue, and the area from 1318 Ruby Street to Parriott Avenue will have no water service. This will happen on Thursday, May 23rd, 2024, from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The service interruption allows contractors to safely connect a new line to the main waterline at 9th Street and Ash Avenue.

After water service resumes, there will be a 48-hour boil order. This is a safety measure to ensure water quality until lab tests confirm the water is safe to drink. During this time, residents should boil water before using it for drinking, cooking, or other needs.

The Moundsville Water Board apologizes for the inconvenience caused by these necessary upgrades and values the patience and cooperation of affected residents. The board will provide updates and notify residents when the boil order ends.
