Many people living in southeastern Greene County who rely on the East Dunkard Water Authority went to bed Tuesday night without water flowing from their taps. Now, customers whose pipes ran dry are wondering when the spigot will be turned back on again.
East Dunkard’s plant “experienced a breakdown in treatment” early Sunday morning that led to increased turbidity levels and forced a boil-water advisory Tuesday, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection.
