Water Quality Issues & Boil Water Advisory
Local contractors plowed into one of the water lines of the Columbus County Public Water Supply System in Columbus County Water & Sewer District II. Staff are working diligently to repair service to customers. The areas affected include all customers from 1266 Cedar Grove Church Road to 1791 Cedar Grove Church Road. Due to local contractors reversing the flow of water throughout the system, customers may experience water quality issues such as discolored water. Customers that experience problems with discolored water will need to contact the afterhours telephone number, 910-770-2158, to report concerns. Staff will be working diligently to monitor potential issues that may arise. The system should be clear within the next 24 hours.
