A precautionary boil water advisory has been lifted for about 150 customers in the following areas:
- All of Creek Apartments
- All of Trolley Park Apartments
- All Spofford Circle
- All of Hill Street
- All of Circle Street
- 2181 to 2522 Wrightsville Avenue
- 1890 to 2181 Dawson Street
The advisory had been in place since Thursday because of a water main break.
Periods of low or no pressure in the water distribution system increase the potential for back siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system.
When under a boil water advisory, customers are asked to boil their water for one minute, then allow it to cool prior to consumption. Alternatively, they may use another water source such as bottled water.
Consumption includes drinking, brushing teeth, making ice, food preparation, fruit and vegetable washing, pet consumption, and the preparation of baby formula. Customers do NOT need to boil water prior to using it for showering or bathing.
Before a boil water advisory is lifted, CFPUA lab staff test the water to ensure it is safe to drink.
