Boil Water Advisory Issued For Whitmire

 In Local News

The Whitmire Commission of Public Works ADVISES the residents of the Town of Whitmire located in Newberry County, to vigorously boil their water for at least one (1) full minute prior to drinking or cooking. This is due to the loss of system pressure caused by a break in the 8” main located on Nance Street. This is an advisory only, it is NOT mandatory. Residents are suggested to vigorously boil their water for at least one (1) full minute prior to drinking or cooking until otherwise notified by the Whitmire Commission of Public Works.
