Boil Water Notice in Elizabethton: What You Need to Know
Attention, residents of Elizabethton! There’s important news in town that you need to be aware of. On Wednesday, January 29, 2025, the Elizabethton Water Resources issued a boil water notice following a significant water main break. This advisory is a friendly heads-up to help keep everyone safe and healthy.
What Happened?
The hiccup in our water service occurred on Highway 19E near Pete Hampton Drive. Because of the break, many areas may experience low water pressure or, in some unfortunate cases, even a total loss of water. This can certainly disrupt daily routines, but the good news is that crews are already hard at work to fix the issue and restore service as soon as possible.
Which Areas Are Affected?
If you’re in the vicinity of S. Sycamore Street, Johnson Avenue, or Riverside Drive – and even some of the neighboring communities – you might notice changes in your water service. It’s crucial to stay informed if you live in these areas, as the situation may vary from street to street.
What Should You Do?
In the meantime, it’s essential for residents to take the necessary precautions. All water used for drinking or cooking should be boiled before use. This precaution protects against any unintended contaminants that might have found their way into the distribution system due to the break. Boiling your water for at least one minute will help ensure it’s safe for consumption.
Stay Updated
As repair crews continue their work, residents can expect a follow-up notice to be issued once everything is back to normal. It might be a bit of a wait, but staying informed is key to making your water situation smoother. Keep an eye on local updates and announcements for the latest news.
