     A water quality warning and boil water advisory has been inssued for Columbus County Water & Sewer District I after a line was ruptured Tuesday.

     “Customers that experience problems with discolored water will need to contact the afterhours telephone number, 910-770-2158, to report concerns.  Staff will be working diligently to monitor potential issues that may arise.”

     Officials expect the system to be clear within 24 hours, and water used for consumption should be boiled “during the next 24 hours,” or until after noon Wednesay, April 2.
