TARBORO — The town of Tarboro is telling its water consumers to boil water for human consumption (including drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation) or use bottled water.
According to notice from R. Lindsay Stroud with the town’s water system, Tarboro is experiencing periods of low pressure and outages in the distribution system due to a major leak in the water 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,” Stoud said.
Vigorous boiling for one minute should kill any disease-causing organisms that may be present in the water.
“This office is strongly urging the water consumers to conserve water whenever possible.
This advisory remains in effect until further written notification is issued.” Because of the problem Tarboro schools are closed today, including Martin Millennium Academy, Pattillo Middle School, Princeville Elementary, Stocks Elementary and Tarboro High School.

WYOMING, Mich. (WOOD) — A boil water advisory has been lifted for residents near a water main break in Wyoming.
The precautionary advisory was in effect for two neighborhoods near the intersection of 44th Street and Burlingame Avenue, where a 20-inch water main broke Tuesday.
Boil water advisories are common after main breaks cause a drop in system pressure that can lead to bacteria in the water.
Some area residents also lost water service for more than 24 hours before it was restored Wednesday.
The break caused the road to be shut down while repairs were underway, but both directions of 44th reopened between Burlingame and Oriole avenues early Thursday evening, days earlier than previously expected.
The break was blamed on the old age of the cast iron water line, which was installed in the mid-1960s.

A boil advisory has been issued for people in North Shreveport due to two water main breaks.
Customers who live in areas north and east of Hilry Huckaby Drive and north and west of North Hearne Avenue are now under a boil advisory.
They are experiencing low water pressure or water loss.
Crews are working to repair both lines and restore pressure to normal levels.
Repairs are expected to be completed Thursday night.
The Department of Water & Sewerage is issuing a voluntary boil advisory when service is restored in those areas.
