UPDATE: Boil Water Advisory issued for Swansboro Elementary School

A boil water advisory is now in effect for the Swansboro Elementary School.  No other residents or businesses are affected by the advisory.

Nine On Your Side has learned the leak in the 6” water main in Swansboro has now been repaired resulting in a smaller, more contained outage than previously expected.  ONWASA crews worked quickly and efficiently to isolate the leak between Phillips Loop Road and Corbett Avenue to begin repairs.

The line feeds the Swansboro Elementary School, Port West Townhouses, and numerous other businesses. 

The boil water advisory is purely a precaution.  At this time there is no evidence of any contamination to the water supply.

ONWASA advises customers to boil all water used for human consumption (including cooking, brushing teeth, making ice and washing hands) for one (1) minute or use bottled water. This advisory will remain in effect until the water system returns to normal operation.
