TRENTON, N.C. (WNCT) – A boil water advisory has been issued for water consumers of Jones County Regional Water System located within the areas of Maysville and Jones/Carteret County due to a water main break.
The water consumers located on Blueberry Farm road and Highway 58 south will be experiencing periods of low pressure and outages in the distribution system.
Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for back siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system.
The Division of Environmental Health advises consumers to boil all water once the water is restored.
Vigorous boiling for one (1) minute should kill any disease-causing organisms that may be present in the water.
The advisory remains in effect until further notification is issued.
Crews are currently in route to repair the issue.
