The water consumers of Brunswick County Public Utilities in the Leland (H2GO water customers not affected), Northwest, Maco, and Sandy Creek areas have experienced periods of low water pressure and/or outages caused by an equipment failure at the Northwest Water Treatment Plant. Repairs have been completed and system pressure has been restored to all affected areas.
Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increase the potential for back-siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system. Therefore, Brunswick County Public Utilities and the Division of Water Resources advise that 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.
Affected customers have been notified via ReadyBrunswick. This advisory remains in effect until further notification is issued. Brunswick County Public Utilities will provide additional information when this advisory is lifted.
For additional questions, please call:
- Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm: (910) 253-2657
- After Hours/ Holidays: (910) 755-7921, (910) 371-3490, or (910) 454-0512
Thank you for your cooperation and patience during this period. This advisory has been issued on and is effective 12/04/24 by Mickey Thompson of Brunswick County Public Utilities
