The state Department of Environmental Protection said water disruptions due to the heavy snow persist for customers of several public water suppliers, especially those in Washington and Greene counties.
In Greene County, the East Dunkard Water Association is has been unable to supply customers in outlying service areas and water supply has been disrupted in the entire service area of the Dunkard Valley Joint Municipal Authority in Greensboro.
Tri-County Water Authority has been unable to pump water to approximately 600 customers in Scenery Hill and Richeyville in Washington County.
Once water service is restored, the DEP said customers should boil water for at least a minute before drinking or using it in any food preparation.
On Monday, the DEP lifted its boil water advisory for customers of Pennsylvania American Water who are supplied by the company's Aldrich treatment plant, but boiling is still recommended for approximately 100 customers in the Knob Road area of California, Washington County. The supplier is analyzing water samples and will notify customers when the boil water advisory is lifted.
