Traffic on both southbound travel lanes on Carolina Beach Road between Northern Blvd and Central Blvd has been shifted into the center turn lane beginning immediately Saturday, July 10, while CFPUA crews perform emergency repairs on a water main.
This travel advisory will remain in place throughout the day until repairs are complete and the road surface is restored.
In addition, a precautionary boil water advisory has been issued for CFPUA customers in the 1700, 1800, 1900, and 2000 blocks of Carolina Beach Road.
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.
