CFPUA has issued an emergency boil water advisory for the Flemington Road community, effective immediately Wednesday, October 23.
Approximately 100 customers are impacted at the following addresses:
- 2600 to 3400 U.S. 421 North
- All of Flemington Road
- All of Fleming Street
- All of Hales Lane
- All of Sampson Street
- All of Sutton Steam Plant Road
- All of Fredrickson Road
- All of Metro Circle
CFPUA crews are on site working to repair damage to a water main and restore service as quickly as possible.
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. They also 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.
