Update: As of Friday evening, the Boil Advisory has been lifted.
Update on the Boil Advisory– 4:50 p.m.- 9/26/2024
A boil advisory remains in effect for the majority of our service area.
Spring Lake is now under a boil advisory
Customers are advised to boil their water for at least 1 minute before using it for human consumption such as drinking, cooking, making ice, or brushing teeth. Using boiled water for hand washing is only necessary for food preparation and eating activities. In lieu of using boiled water for hand washing, you may use bottled water or a hand sanitizer after washing.
As water pressure is returning throughout the distribution system, customers may experience cloudy or discolored water, which is common when pressure drops and is restored. The boil water advisory will remain in effect until further notice. It typically takes 48-72 hours to do appropriate testing of the system and confirm the water is safe.
PWC is aware of rumors making the rounds on social media, PWC is NOT shutting the water off to customers during a boil advisory because of a water main break affecting many of our water customers.
PWC will send out notifications once the boil advisory is lifted.
