UPDATE: Thousands of people are boiling water Wednesday after Polk County officials issued a boil water advisory.
The advisory started Tuesday after filtration problems and down water pumps shut down the water plant.
Officials with the McCaysville water service told Channel 3 the heavy amount of rain recently played a role in shutting the plant down.
Copperhill residents get their water from McCaysville.
However, they still have to boil it in order to drink it.
"Well we were hoping it was just one day,” The Copper Grill employee, Shelly Utley said, “But today’s day two, so it’s getting a little aggravating."
The city is going to have to haul water in from another location, due to the City of McCaysville water pumps being down and are experiencing filter issues. The City Clerk says they cannot pump any water from their system.
