COLUMBIA — A water main break on Ash Street in Columbia is disrupting traffic and will necessitate some 34 water and light customers to boil their water until the issue is resolved.

According to Columbia Water and Light, the line is directly underneath Ash Street in the area of North Glenwood, so the road will be closed while work is underway. The break is expected to be fixed by 5:00 Thursday afternoon.

34 water customers on North Glenwood will be notified of a precautionary boil order that will be in effect for 24 hours.
