Brunswick County boil water advisory lifted

BRUNSWICK COUNTY — A boil water advisory has been lifted for some Brunswick County residents this morning.

Residents of 4,500 homes in the Leland area are no longer required to boil their water.

Construction crews tapping into a water line caused the leak Tuesday. It happened on Buckeye Road, off Old Lanvale Road.

Six homes lost water for a few hours and many homes experienced low water pressure.

Director of the North Brunswick Sanitary District Bob Jones says all water pressure should be back to normal now.

“This is just totally a precautionary measure to be on the safe side,” Jones said Wednesday. “The likelihood of anything being sucked into that line was minimal, like I said we had that area isolated, but you’d rather be safe than sorry.”

Lab results out this morning show no coliform bacteria present.

Four schools in Northern Brunswick County were released early yesterday because of the water main break, but they will run on normal schedules today.
