Customers in the Weaverville/New Stock Road/Baird Cove Road area will experience alternating periods of water loss and pressure as crews perform system tests during the remainder of the week. All customers are reminded that the District has issued a boil water notice for all customers until system repairs and pressure issues are completed.
District personnel are beginning water system testing over the next 12-24 hours. Please turn off all water consuming devices during this time. Customers that receive any water services should boil it vigorously for several minutes before consuming. Customers in the West Buncombe area will still be disabled as City of Asheville services work to restore services.
District crews have repaired a major water line washout & damaged area from the hurricane. Service is not yet restored but more testing is now possible. If your water is restored in any capacity it must be boiled vigorously for several minutes before drinking.
As is the case for most systems in our area, the District has significant damages from the hurricane. Some customers may still have water services and the District hopes to restart water production within the next few days as damaged areas are discovered and isolated and necessary repairs are made. Currently the District has no power at many of its facilities and limited ability to run generators on site due to washed out bridges and damaged roads preventing refueling efforts and other critical supply delivery. The Buncombe County emergency operations center is working with state and federal officials to set up potable water stations as quickly as possible for Buncombe County residents. We encourage all customers to sign up for mobile text alerts in order to stay informed on information as it becomes available.
For Immediate Release
The Woodfin Sanitary Water and Sewer District is requesting customers do their best to conserve water over the next several days as the District and its partner agencies including the City of Asheville work to make repairs and restart water production in the wake of Hurricane Helene. Over the next several days District customers may experience loss of water flow and/or pressure while repairs and system adjustments are being made. Information, as it becomes available, will be provided on the District website.
