Front Royal Water Okay To Drink

If you live in Front Royal you may have been concerned about the quality of your water, but it turns out it's fine.

Town Manager Steve Burke says in a recent water testing there were signs that something could become a violation of the water quality in town. After more testing, they didn't have any violations.

The town has to test the water about 100 times a day, and one of those tests came up with a potential violation of organic carbon.

"It's simply similar to a warning light going off in your vehicle that says there may be a problem you should check. It allows our plant manager and operators at the treatment plant to be a little more vigilant and aware of what's going on," says Steve Burke.

The water was never unsafe to drink. Whenever there is a water violation or signs that there could be a water violation, leaders in Front Royal have to tell the public.
