Water Main Break Updated Info!
WHAT WE KNOW: Utility crews located the break and have exposed the damage for repair. The water main is beneath a pond in a remote area, 40 feet underground. Isolating the water main has already restored service to several critical facilities, with water pressure recovering across the system.
BOIL ADVISORY: Still in effect. Water quality testing began last night in areas where pressure has returned to normal and will continue today; the advisory will lift once testing confirms there hasn't been any contamination.
DISTRIBUTION SITES: Free bottled water is available today (drive-thru, one case per vehicle) at:
~ Griffith Elementary School
~ Kennedy High School
~ Kernersville Elementary School
~ Walkertown High School
GOOD TO KNOW: Crews will also be flushing fire hydrants in affected areas to restore water quality and clear the system of air and sediment.
