Residents and businesses in Swansboro may experience periods of low or no water pressure on Tuesday, March 20, 2012, between the hours of 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. as ONWASA crews make repairs to the waterline at Front St. and Main St. This will only affect residents and businesses on Church Street from Sabiston Street to Front Street; all of Front Street; on Walnut Street from Broad Street to Church Street; and on Water Street from Moore Street to Church Street.
Following the restoration of water pressure to these customers, ONWASA will implement a boil water advisory for those affected by the water outage. This is strictly a precaution. There is no indication of any contamination, and ONWASA will notify residents when laboratory testing confirms that the water system is operating normally. Once water is restored, it will be at least 24 hours until testing is complete.
When a boil water advisory is issued, ONWASA encourages residents to boil all water used for human consumption (including drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes or food preparation) or use bottled water. There is no need to boil water for showering or bathing.
We value our customers and appreciate your patience while these improvements are made to the water system in your area.
For questions or concerns, please call 937 7518 or 455 0722.
