Mount Holly, NC: The Utility crew has a water main break on Highway 27 at Craig Street. The water is currently shut down until repairs are made which we anticipate being another 2-4 hours. The affected areas are Craig Street, neighboring parts Highway 27, Woodlawn Avenue, Noles Drive, Hoover Avenue, Globe Street, and Lane Road, as well as the following subdivisions: Westland Farms, Azalea Ridge, and Deertrack. Additional neighborhoods adjacent to those intersections will also be affected.

 

Crews anticipate that the repairs will be made in the next hour.

 

A BOIL WATER ADVISORY is in effect until further notice for the affected areas due to periods of low water pressure and outages in the distribution system caused by the ruptured water main. Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for back siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system.

 

 

We are strongly urging the water consumers to conserve water whenever possible. This water boil advisory remains in effect until further notification is issued.
