A crew has completed repairs to a water main that broke in the 100 block of Market Street in downtown Wilmington this morning and forced the closure of its eastbound lane.
A press release from the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority Tuesday afternoon said the crew planned to reopen the road by 5 p.m.
A boil-water advisory for customers in that area will remain in effect until water-quality tests confirm the supply is safe to consume.
“Customers will be notified when testing is completed, typically within 24 hours, and service is returned to normal,” the release stated.
