The water consumers of the Town of Spruce Pine, in Mitchell County, are experiencing periods of low pressure and outages in the distribution system due to line repairs. The area affected includes:
19E Corridor, from Beaver Creek Road to Tempie Mountain Road, including all intersecting side streets.
Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for introduction of bacteria into the water system.
Therefore, when water service is restored, consumers are advised to 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 minute should kill any disease-causing organisms that may be present in the water.
Water customers are strongly urged to conserve water whenever possible. This advisory remains in effect until further written notification is issued.
This advisory issued on January 26, 2023.
