Some Fletcher, Arden residents under Boil Water Advisory after water main break

A water main break Tuesday morning left more than 300 customers, including an urgent care, without water for much of the day.
Many of those customers were businesses located along Highway 25 between Old Airport Road and Wood Hill Court.
Repair crews got the call about 5:45 a.m. “The waterline created quite a bit of mess,” Hendersonville Water and Sewer Operations director Andy Brogden said.
“Fortunately, it was all aesthetic and no property damage or anything like that.” But the repair process included shutting off water to 350 customers in the area, including all of the businesses in St. John’s Market Place.
“Oh, it’s a major inconvenience,” said Jerome Stuckey, an employee of Fletcher Village Bakery.
Stuckey had to boil some of the water he already had on hand.
“Got to boil to kill the bacteria and then you let it cool down so you can use it and then add the soup or the sanitizer.” The Mission-Pardee Health campus also closed for the day, along with Pardee Urgent Care.
Even though water was restored to customers by late afternoon, all customers remain on a Boil Water Advisory.
“We collect samples, and the lab will process those.
Brogden said that process usually takes about 24 hours.
