The water consumers of Brunswick County Public Utilities in Shallotte located at:
- 4764 (all units), 4802, 4806, 4810, and 4812 Main St
- 114 Mulberry St
are experiencing periods of low water pressure and outages caused by a water main break. 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 seven (7) 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.
