System Pressure Advisory!
The water consumers from Sawmill Hollow Rd to Micaville in the Town of
Burnsville, in Yancey County are experiencing periods of low pressure and outages
in the distribution system due to a water line break at 780 East US-19E. Periods of
low or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for back
siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system.
Therefore, the Division of Water Resources advises that when water is restored
consumers boil all water used for human consumption (including drinking, making
ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation) or use bottled water.
Vigorous boiling for one (1) minute should kill any disease-causing organisms that
may be present in the water.
This office is strongly urging the water consumers to conserve water whenever
possible. This advisory remains in effect until further written notification is issued.
