10″ Walhalla line “blowout”–boil water advisory

A 10″ water line has failed today and the result is a boil water advisory to Walhalla customers in the vicinity of Halfway Branch. Repair crews are making their way to the spot where the line apparently split, in front of Head Lee Nursery on SC 28.  Customers in the following areas can expect to lose pressure momentarily:  Blue Ridge Boulevard, Avondale, Tanglewood, Albert’s Road, and Park Ridge subdivision.  Until samples can be taken and analyzed, customers there should boil their water vigorously before using for cooking or drinking purposes.
