The Wellman Municipal Water Works is recommending residents of Wellman boil water before using it for drinking, or use an alternative water source. Crews began repairing a water main Thursday, and the system will lose pressure or be without water. Due to the potential for bacterial contamination, boil water for at least one minute before drinking, cooking, brushing teeth or making ice. Bacteria samples will be collected and the lines will be flushed. According to the City, the advisory is a precaution until results of the bacterial sample are available.
