The City of Staunton remains under a boil water advisory for all water customers as of Sunday morning (August 17, 2025). Crews continue to sample and test water from each pressure zone across the city.
The city will continue to distribute water at the Gypsy Hill Park Gymnasium today (Sunday) while supplies are available. During this event, water has been donated by Walmart and Molson Coors Beverage Company. Our distribution will be changing from water bottles to 12-pack cans of water as our inventory changes. Each vehicle will be limited to one 12-pack at the distribution site.
Remember, during a boil water advisory, customers should boil water before using it for drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth. Bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute and let it cool before use. Continue to follow these precautions until the city notifies residents that the boil water advisory has been lifted.
Sampling and testing of water continues across all pressure zones in the city. Crews were out as early as 2:40 a.m. to collect samples as soon as the required waiting time between tests had passed.
We continue to work toward lifting the advisory as soon as test results confirm water safety.
