Boil water advisory issued after water main break in Florence | WPDE

FLORENCE, S.C. (WPDE) — The City of Florence has issued a boil water advisory for customers located near the intersection of S. Irby Street and Redbud Lane after a water main break on Tuesday.

The 12" break caused little to no pressure for customers near the intersection, as well as the 2000 block of S. Irby Street, the 100 through 500 blocks of Third Loop Road and the 2300 to 2500 blocks of Freedom Boulevard.

Officials said the advisory is only in effect for those who lost water pressure.

According to a release from the city, "There has been no confirmed contamination of the system; however, because of the loss of pressure a slight potential for bacteriological contamination exists."

Crews are working to isolate the leak, repair the break and restore water service to customers in the area.

Anyone with questions concerning the notice, call the City of Florence at 843-665-3236 or SCDHEC at 843-661-4825.
