First Zones Given Go-Ahead to Start Flushing
January 13, 2014

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia American Water on Monday began lifting
the "do-not-use" water advisory issued to 300,000 of its customers on
Thursday.
.
Customers in downtown Charleston -- in areas bordered by the Elk River,
the Kanawha River and the 35th St. Bridge -- were given the go-ahead on
Monday afternoon to begin flushing their systems.
.
By late Monday afternoon, Kanawha City and some areas across the Kanawha
River from the neighborhood were added. South Charleston residents were
also told they could flush their pipes early Monday evening. Customers in
North Charleston, the West Side and along Sissonville Drive were permitted
to flush their pipes Monday night, and the Edgewood area was added at 6
a.m. Tuesday.
.
As of early Tuesday, the advisory had been lifted for about 28,500
customers, according to the water company.
.
The do-not-use advisory remains in effect for customers in the rest of
Kanawha County, as well as Putnam, Boone, Jackson, Lincoln, Roane, Logan
and Clay counties. The Culloden area of Cabell County is also still under
the advisory.
.
When areas are given the go-ahead, customers will be asked to flush their
home plumbing systems, which will require at least 15 minutes of flushing
faucets, state officials said at a press conference Monday afternoon.
.
Hospitals in the Charleston area were OK'd to begin the flushing process
at about 10 a.m. Monday morning.
.
Customers served by the Lincoln County public service district have been
approved to begin the flushing process, as well, according to state
Homeland Security director Jimmy Gianato.
.
Customers can see their zone's status by entering their address into the
online map at www.westvirginiaamwater.com, or by calling 855-390-4569.
Once the map pinpoints an address, customers can zoom out to see their
home's status. The map will identify areas that can start flushing as
blue, and areas where they shouldn't start yet as red.
.
State officials warned customers to not begin the flushing process until
their zone's ban is lifted to prevent overworking the water system. If
people begin flushing their systems too early -- before their area is
coded by blue on the online map -- it will extend recovery time, said Jeff
McIntyre, president of West Virginia American Water Co.
.
Officials previously said they did not know much about the chemical --
Crude MCHM -- from its toxicity levels to know how to test for them.
Special tests were developed to track the chemical's levels.
.
When asked why customers should have confidence in the safety of their tap
water, McIntyre touted the company's filtration system, describing the
water treatment plant as "top notch." After the press conference, McIntyre
said he wasn't concerned about other substances that might infiltrate the
company's system.
.
"We've had diesel spills and fuel spills, and this treatment process can
handle those," McIntyre said. "This particular chemical was just so strong
and aggressive to our system that it overwhelmed the absorptive capacity
of our system."
