Officials in West Virginia have announced that tap water will slowly be safe for drinking again.
A map will soon be put out on the West Virginian American Water website, showing which areas are safe.
The map will be simple with uncleared areas being marked in red and then changed to green once they are cleared.
Seventeen hundred miles of pipes were possibly contaminated by a chemical spill on Thursday.
A state of emergency was declared for Charleston and the surrounding areas, with people warned not to drink or wash in the water.
National Guard troops and other sources helped distribute bottled water.
