Boil water advisory in Columbus County

LAKE WACCAMAW, NC (WWAY) — A system pressure advisory has been issued in Columbus County due to a leaking water main on Waccamaw Shores.

Customers of the Lake Waccamaw Water System are experiencing periods of low pressure and outages. This increases the potential for back siphonage and bacteria.

The advisory affects residents from 1910 Canal Cove Road continuing to the end of Waccamaw Shores and includes the Wooded Acres Subdivision.

The Division of Water Resources advises that when water is restored, customers boil all water for human consumption or use bottled water.
