Boil Water Advisory Partially LiftedTown of Blacksburg Anticipates Lift of Advisory on Friday, pending final test results.

Effective immediately, the Virginia Department of Health’s Office of Drinking Water (VDH-ODW) has lifted the boil water advisory for the following areas. Customers in these areas will be contacted directly by their service provider.

The boil water advisory has been lifted for:

  • Prices Fork service area (Montgomery County PSA)
  • Belview service area (Montgomery County PSA)
  • Peppers Ferry Road Corridor (Town of Christiansburg)
  • Cambria Street service area (Town of Christiansburg)

The boil advisory remains in effect for the Town of Christiansburg, the Town of Blacksburg, Virginia Tech, and the remainder of Montgomery County PSA customers.

To determine if the advisory has been lifted in your service area, visit this interactive map.

Lifting the boil water advisory in a specific area depends on successful testing to confirm the absence of bacteria in the water distribution and storage systems. This phased approach aims to lift the advisory as safely and rapidly as possible.

Pending final test results, below please find the updated timeline to lift the boil water advisory throughout the New River Valley Regional Water Authority’s service area:

Montgomery County PSA Customers (remaining service areas):

  • Oct. 9: Bethel
