ID NO. 01-44-015

The water consumers of the Town of Canton in the Beaverdam Community, Champion Dr, N Main, Newfound, Spruce Areas Only, in Haywood County that are experiencing periods of low pressure and outages in the distribution system due to a 10 inch water main break and high demand.  Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for back siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system.

Therefore, the Division of Water Resources advises that when water is restored consumers you should boil all water used for human consumption (including drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation) or use bottled water.

Vigorous boiling for one (1) minute should kill any disease-causing organisms that may be present in the water.

This office is strongly urging the water consumers to conserve water whenever possible.  This advisory remains in effect until further written notification is issued.
