MINGO, W.Va . (WSAZ) — Crews are working on repairing a water main break in the Ajax area of Mingo County, West Virginia.

According to Mingo County Emergency Management, crews have been having problems getting across the creek to repair the line because of high creek levels.

They also say that the water has been out for over 15 hours.

For community members without water, a water tanker is available at the Lenore Volunteer Fire Department and cases of water are being distributed at the Lenore Community Center.

Mingo County Emergency Management says they are also working on getting more pallets of water distributed to areas that will have an extended timeline for getting their water back on.

They say the pallets of water will be delivered tomorrow.

Mingo County Emergency Management and Mingo County Commission say that they are working to get water brought in in the event that this lasts longer than expected.
