PENDER COUNTY, NC (WECT) – Pender County Utilities has rescinded its water system pressure advisory and boil water notice.

The advisory and notice were issued on Sept. 6 after a water main break in the area of Highway 210.

According to officials, bacteriological analysis results of drinking water samples collected Tuesday from the water system showed no coliform bacteria present.

Due to the water break, Pender County schools had a two-hour delay on Wednesday, and Malpass Corner Elementary was closed for the entire day.
