Advisory

System Pressure Advisory- Vigorous boiling all water for one minute is recommended.

The water consumers of The Town of Andrews, in Cherokee County are experiencing periods of low pressure and outages in the distribution system due to system maintenance and mainline replacement construction.  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, when water service is restored consumers are advised to 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.
