FLOODING, WATER LEAKS IN FT. GAY
Some members of the The Fort Gay Fire Dept were on the scene yesterday at the building formally known as Citgo and Joe’s pizza for hose testing, not for contamination testing…
OOPS!
Another news source reported the water was being completely contaminated due to septic overflow.
Mayor Joetta Hatfield has disputed the claims on her facebook page:
“This is not the case, it’s a simple boil advisory,” Hatfield wrote. “Despite the continuous issues with the water boil advisories. If you have to boil water let it boil at least one minute before using. “
The floods have also caused rock slides, this morning on Court St. near Exxon a boulder was partially in the road blocking traffic. West Virginia Department of Highways was working on it early and had the road reopened quickly and the rest of the boulder is on the shoulder of the highway.
This from mayor Hatfield on the water problems in the city:
“…Attention FG Water Customers from race track up to Mill Creek….Water line break & we have been working to fix since last night. I will post approximate time of restoration. Sorry for the inconvenience. –Mayor Hatfield…”
