After four separate tests come back positive for E. Coli, the Clarksburg Water Board issues a boil water notice for all its customers and the customers of its satellite systems.

Officials with the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health say the presence of E. coli likely indicates the water has been contaminated with sanitary waste.

Because of that possibility, those same officials advise customers to boil water any time they plan to ingest it. That includes, drinking, cooking and brushing teeth.

If you do shower, make sure to avoid getting water in your mouth or swallowing it. Infants and toddlers should be sponge bathed with boiled water which has been cooled.

Wednesday several more water samples were taken. Those samples have been sent to Charleston for testing. The results of those tests should return Thursday and Friday.

The boil water notice will remain in effect until further notice.
