Water line break near Walhalla

The break of an 8-inch water line near Walhalla prompted the utilities superintendent last night to order a boil water advisory to cover customers on the north side of the city limits.  The break occurred on South Carolina 11 near 183.  Scott Parris, utilities director, predicted that it would take several hours for repairs.  In the meantime, the advisory means that Walhalla water customers in the areas of Country Junction Road, Picket Post, and Falcon’s Lair should boil water for drinking or cooking purposes for at least one full minute before using.  Parris has promised updates which 101.7/WGOG will pass on to listeners and viewers of our web page.
