Due to a break and repair of a Currituck County water line, a boil water advisory has been issued as a precaution for a section of Wedgewood and is to remain in effect until 6:00 pm on Tuesday, April 29, 2025. The affected area includes properties located on Maple Circle and Ash Circle, and properties from 114 Wedgewood Drive south to the intersection of Wedgewood and Baxter Grove.
Because of the pipe break and repair work, contaminants may be in the water. The county’s Public Utilities Department is flushing all lines in the area. Citizens in the affected area should boil all tap water intended for consumption for at least one full minute prior to use. This will ensure the removal of any harmful bacteria in the water that may cause illness.
The tap water is safe for bathing and laundering clothes. Household dishwashers are generally safe to use if the final rinse temperature reaches 150 degrees or the dishwasher has a sanitation cycle. To hand wash dishes, use hot soapy water and rinse the dishes in boiled water.
Anyone with questions may contact the Currituck County Water Department at 252-232-2769.
