The Daily News reported today the Health Department was not convinced by the most recent testing of drinking water in Elkton, and has ordered another sample to be taken and tested for bacteria.

"The test results of one of Elkton's water sources came back clean, but officials with the Virginia Department of Health want to perform another analysis.

Elkton's spring came under the scrutiny of the health department's Office of Drinking Water after recent samples of pretreated water came back positive for coliform bacteria. The results prompted town staff to clean the spring box last week because it could be the source of contamination. The spring is one of two town water sources.

If the next sample, which the town sent to the health department Thursday, came back positive for bacteria, the health department would issue a boil order, officials with the Office of Drinking Water said last week. The town and health officials expected the results to come back positive despite the disinfecting efforts."
