HUNTINGTON, WV (LOOTPRESS) – West Virginia American Water continues to monitor water quality for its Cabell and Wayne County customers following the train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio.
West Virginia American Water says that water quality testing indicates that all water leaving the Huntington Water Treatment Plant meets state and federal drinking water guidelines as established by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources’ Bureau for Public Health (BPH) and the U.S. EPA.
