The Weirton Area Water Board has announced the lifting of a boil order that was placed on a section of Palisades Drive, effective at 10 a. m. today. The boil order was instituted earlier this week due to concerns regarding water quality in the area. Specifically, the order affected residents living on Palisades Drive between Elmhurst Drive and Hanlin Way.

During the boil order, residents were instructed to boil their water for consumption and cooking to ensure safety. The Water Board's decision to lift the order indicates that the water quality has been restored to acceptable levels. Residents expressed relief at the news, as the boil order had caused inconvenience in their daily routines. The Water Board issued a timely notice to inform the community of the change. This development underscores the importance of water safety protocols in local governance.
