A break in a 6 inch water line on the West side of Burnsville forced Yancey County schools and some businesses to close early Monday afternoon. Randal Wilson, Town of Burnsville ORC, said that maintenance crews responded to the break in the water line on Cherry Lane as soon as the call came in around 11:30 yesterday morning. Due to the water outage and related transportation issues Yancey County schools sent their students home early in the afternoon.  The Yancey Campus of the Blue Ridge Regional Hospital closed at 2pm because of the water outage.  Schools and all other businesses affected by the water outage are back on a regular schedule today.
