WILMINGTON — CFPUA has issued a precautionary boil water advisory for all of Buxton Road, Linden Lane, Rollin Road, Strada Street, Callie Court, and Shuney Street, and the 5500 Block of Brittain Drive, effective immediately Monday, May 13.
Crews are repairing a broken water valve.
Approximately 60 CFPUA customers are impacted.
Periods of low or no pressure in the water distribution system increase the potential for back siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system.
When under a boil water advisory, customers are asked to boil their water for one minute, then allow it to cool prior to consumption. Alternatively, they may use another water source such as bottled water.
Consumption includes drinking, brushing teeth, making ice, food preparation, fruit and vegetable washing, pet consumption, and the preparation of baby formula. Customers do NOT need to boil water prior to using it for showering or bathing.
