The water consumers of 2480 through 2541 Caratoke Highway experienced periods of low pressure and outages in the distribution system due to water main break. Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increase the potential for back siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system.
Therefore, the water system advises that consumers within the above addresses boil all water used for human consumption (including drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation) or use bottled water. This advisory remains in effect until 6:00 pm on September 20, 2025.
Vigorous boiling for one (1) minute should kill any disease-causing organisms that may be present in the water.
The Water Department strongly urges the water consumers to conserve water whenever possible.
