Boil Water Advisory issued for North Louisiana Avenue.
The City of Asheville Water Resources Department has reported an emergency water interruption on/in North Louisiana Avenue from Hazel Mill Road to Emma Road.
This interruption of water requires issuance of a Boil Water Advisory.
Residents are encouraged to vigorously boil tap water for 1 minute before consuming it.
When water systems experience low pressure or lose pressure, there is an increased risk of contamination.
This does not mean the water is contaminated, but that the possibility exists.
Once pressure returns, there is the possibility that some discolored water or air could be present in the lines.
Customers are advised to run cold water for 5-10 minutes or until water is clear.
Properties in the affected areas are receiving notification via the COA automated system or door hangers.
