About 70 customers of the Hazel Hurst Water Co. are being advised to boil their water after a leak drained the tank on Wednesday night, a company official reported.

Workers were on scene along U.S. Route 6 for several hours Thursday making the repairs. Officials expected the system to be back up today, in which case people should boil water for a minute, said the company official who wished not to be identified.
