Whiteville City Schools dismiss early; boil water advisory issued
Whiteville crews are working to repair multiple water main breaks in the city Tuesday morning.
According to Whiteville Town Manager Darren Currie, there are at least two water main breaks on Lee Street.
One is located at the intersection of Lee and Nance streets and the other is located in front of Whiteville High.
Currie is urging motorists to use caution while driving through the water main break area due to standing water freezing.
He said they’ve done some work to mitigate the frozen water on the roads, but he still urges caution.
Hal Lowder with Whiteville emergency services said Tuesday night a boil water advisory has been issued for water customers in the North Lee Street area.
Due to the breaks, Whiteville City Schools dismissed its students early.
WCS schools also operated on a two-hour delay to start Tuesday due to weather conditions.

Boil water advisory issued for over 3 dozen homes in Greenville Co.
Greenville,SC – Three separate water main breaks on Tuesday resulted in a boil water advisory for several dozen homes in Greenville County.
Officials at Greer CPW say they had to turn the water completely off to repair the break to one of them, so as a result a boil water advisory is required.
As of 10:30 p.m., crews were still working to repair the break on Pelham Street and water will be off there for another 4 to 6 hours, officials said.
Once the water is turned back on, impacted customers will need to boil their water for one minute before drinking or cooking.
The following addresses are under boil water advisory until further notice: 413 South Main Street 100 East James Street 102 East James Street 104 East James Street 106 East James Street 107 East James Street 108 East James Street 109 East James Street 110 East James Street 111 East James Street 112 East James Street 114 East James Street 115 East James Street 116 East James Street 117 East James Street 118 East James Street 119 East James Street 120 East James Street 121 East James Street 123 East James Street 125 East James Street 125A East James Street 125B East James Street 111 Carey Avenue 210 Pelham Street 213 Pelham Street 214 Pelham Street 215 Pelham Street 219 Pelham Street 300 Pelham Street 304 Pelham Street 312 Pelham Street 314 Pelham Street 313 Pelham Street 315 Pelham Street 316 Pelham Street 317 Pelham Street 318 A Pelham Street 318 B Pelham Street 319 Pelham Street For more information on boil water advisories, click here.

Chief Maracle continues push for clean water
“We are still on a precautionary boil water advisory, since 2008,” Maracle said noting the measure was implemented by Health Canada almost a decade ago.
“We have to service the community with an alternate water supply.
There are about 318 homes connected to the Deseronto system.
“Water holding tanks have been an interim measure until the water lines are built.” Maracle will be looking to the government for additional supports to complete the $5.5 million water tower project he champions as the solution to ensuring the entire community can have dependable supply.
The total cost of the tower and water line service extensions will be at least $16 million.
With more than 60 communities still turning to alternative water sources, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has pledged to eradicate all drinking water advisories in First Nations communities by March 2021.
“There is often blue-green algae that forms along the bay, so people can’t use drinking water from shore wells and we have 102 wells along the Bay of Quinte,” the chief said.
Budget 2016 included a commitment of $1.8 billion over five years, beyond existing spending, to help achieve that goal.
MP Mike Bossio lauded the chief for pushing the federal government to implement change.
The federal government has allocated $145,000 to address infrastructure work such as digitizing water meters and engineering studies for watermain expansions, and have earmarked $2.5 million (of a $7 million project) to facilitate expansion of the Deseronto plant, which services a segment of the reserve.
