The Boil Advisory has been lifted.

Boil Water Advisory - Phenix Street Area

The City of Kings Mountain Water Resources Department is reporting an emergency water service interruption due to a water main repair on Phenix Street. Because of this interruption
and a abundance of caution, the City is issuing a Boil Water Advisory for the following area:

-Phenix Street – from Linwood Road to the dead end at Broad Street
-Broad Street
-Guyton Loop
-Church Street, including East Elementary School
-Lynn Street
-Webb Street
-Linwood Road – from Cleveland Avenue to Phenix Street
-Woodside Drive – from Cleveland Avenue to Church Street

What You Should Do:

-Bring tap water to a vigorous rolling boil for one (1) minute before using it to drink, cook, make ice, brush teeth or prepare baby formula.

-When pressure returns, you may see discolored water or air in the lines. Run your cold water tap for 5–10 minutes or until the water runs clear.

Why This Advisory Was Issued:
When a water system loses pressure or has low pressure, the risk of contamination goes up. This does not mean the water is contaminated, only that it could be.

When the Advisory Will Be Lifted:
The City is collecting water samples for laboratory testing. The advisory will be lifted once test results confirm the water is safe. Customers will be notified when the advisory has been lifted.
