FLORENCE, S.C. – The city announced Thursday night that it has lifted its boil-water advisory.
Earlier in the day, officials said the city was getting a handle on its water problems.
The city was able to start its surface water plant about 9 p.m. Wednesday and, as of late Thursday morning, it was operating at 3-4 million gallons a day, said Drew Griffin, Florence city manager.
Water pressure in the city’s system dropped starting about 4 a.m. Wednesday and left many customers without service.

"That has wreaked havoc as our treatment plant has tried to keep up with the changing water and its effects.” The surface water plant provides 4 million to 5 million gallons per day of the city’s demand of 10 million to 12 million gallons per day, Griffin and Wukela indicated during the news conference.
