A Boil Water Advisory is in effect for parts of Benson following a water outage. The areas affected are NC242, US301, Wall Street, and Johnson Street. Residents are advised to boil water for three minutes before drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth.
The advisory was issued due to a decrease in water pressure. This could be due to equipment failure, water main damage, or other interruptions, which can increase the risk of contamination. Boiling water is not required for external uses like showering.
Residents will receive an automated call about the advisory. The advisory will stay in place until water tests confirm safety, usually within 24 hours of the advisory’s issue.
Residents will be informed when the advisory is lifted. Until then, they should continue to boil water before use.
