Posted 04.22.2024
The water consumers of Brunswick County Public Utilities located at 119 to 225 Village Road, 120 and 121 Blake Drive, 205 to 228 Copas Road, and all addresses on George Street and Thomas Drive in Shallotte are experiencing periods of low water pressure and outages caused by a main line break. Please note that Shallotte Middle School is affected. Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increase the potential for back-siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system.
Until further notice, Brunswick County Public Utilities and the NC Division of Water Resources advise consumers to boil all water or use bottled water for human consumption. Consumption includes drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation. Vigorous boiling for one (1) minute should kill any disease-causing organisms that may be present in the water.
Approximately four (4) residential and (12) commercial connections have been affected. Affected customers will be notified via door hanger.
This advisory remains in effect until further written notification is issued. Brunswick County will provide additional information when this advisory is lifted.
