Hanover has issued a boil water advisory for homes and businesses in the Doswell pressure zone. This includes customers north of Hickory Hill Road along the Route 1 corridor to the Verdon Road area, and the Route 30 corridor from Route 1 to Meadow Event Park.

A water main break overnight near the Doswell Water Treatment Plant caused a drop in water pressure across the Doswell Service Area. While there is no evidence of contamination, the advisory is a precaution due to the temporary loss of pressure. It will be in place for 48 hours.

See a map of the impacted area in comments.
