Boil Water Notice – Weaverville Area
 
Issued: September 18th, 2025
 
Who is affected: Customers on Highlander Rd; East Baird Mountain Rd; West Baird Mountain Rd; Chipmonk Cove Rd; Wilderness Rd; Brushwood Rd; and Wilderness Cove Rd.
 
What to do now
 
Do not drink the water without boiling it first.
 
Bring water to a rolling boil for at least 1 minute, then let it cool before using. Use boiled or bottled water for drinking, making ice, preparing food, brushing teeth, and giving to pets.
 
It’s okay to shower/bathe as usual; avoid swallowing water.
 
If you are immunocompromised or care for infants/older adults, consider using bottled water for all uses.
 
Why is this notice in place?
Multiple leaks and breaks in the Weaverville section of our distribution system caused a pressure drop that can allow contaminants to enter the lines.
 
How long will this last?
We expect 48–72 hours while repairs are completed and water quality tests confirm it’s safe. We’ll lift the notice as soon as results are clear and will notify you immediately.
 
Updates & questions
We’ll post updates on our website/text alerts/Facebook page.
 
Thank you for your patience as we work to restore normal service safely.

Crews are repairing a broken water main in the Audubon Drive area. Customers on Mills Place, Audubon Drive and surrounding areas may experience water disruption while repairs are being made.

We want to provide an update regarding the ongoing water discoloration caused by elevated manganese levels. We have ordered specialized equipment for our water treatment plant to help resolve the issue. This equipment is scheduled to arrive and be installed by the end of the day on August 8th.
Once the system is operational, we expect to begin seeing improvements in water clarity around August 11, with continued progress as we fine-tune the new treatment process. Because this is a new process for our team, there may be a short adjustment period while we optimize the treatment.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. Please note that manganese is an aesthetic concern and does not pose a health risk. However, we recommend avoiding the use of bleach on white laundry during this time, as it may cause staining.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to resolve this issue.

There is a water outage for the Foster Estates and Old Leicester Highway area due to a water main break. Repair estimate is 12 PM.
