Schools in Caswell County will be closed Friday as town officials in Yanceyville examine results from lab tests following a water main break on Wall Street.
Now the town is advising people to boil all water or use bottled water.
According to a note posted on the school district’s web site, employees at Barlett Yancey High School, Dillard, Oakwood, the Whitley Building and the Central Office will work with their principal or supervisor to determine an alternate Caswell County work location if working Friday.
Earlier, the Town of Yanceyville said Caswell County had experienced periods of low pressure and outages in the distribution system.
That can potentially increase the risk for back siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system.
