10-inch waterline break causes boil water advisory in Spartanburg

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (FOX Carolina) - Spartanburg Water has issued a boil water advisory while crews work to repair a 10-inch waterline break.

Officials said customers in the Highway 56 and Camp Croft areas, south to the intersection of Highway 215 may have experienced an interruption of service or a reduction in normal water pressures.
