'Results are looking favorable': Second round of water testing underway in Staunton
As of Sunday afternoon, the City of Staunton remains under a Boil Water Advisory as it continues to wait for test results on water samples from across the city. Water samples must be tested for both residual chlorine and bacteria, and this testing process must be completed twice in separate rounds. The city is currently in the second round of bacteria testing. These results should be ready by mid-morning August 18, the city said in an update. At this point, results are looking favorable to lift the Boil Water Advisory Monday. However, please wait for the official all clear from the city, the update said. Residential and business customers should continue to boil water before using it for drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth. Bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute and let it cool before use. Continue to follow these precautions until the city notifies residents that the boil water advisory has been lifted. Customers do not need to boil water for taking a shower, washing clothes in a washing machine, or running the dishwasher on a sanitize setting. We appreciate everyone's patience and understanding throughout this advisory, the city said. The city plans to issue an update by noon August 18.
