County water customers along Dogwood Stand Road are under a boil advisory after a line break there today.
Columbus County officials said in a social media announcement that “local contractors plowed into one of the water lines” in Water and Sewer District IV, causing an outage.
“Due to local contractors reversing the flow of water throughout the system, customers may experience water quality issues such as discolored water,” the announcement said.
Customer with discolored water need to call the afterhours telephone number (910.770.2158) to report concerns.
The system should be clear within the next 24 hours, the county said, but it is recommended that water used for consumption should be boiled during the next 24 hours.
