Gaffney: Boil water advisory

Boil water advisory issued for parts of Gaffney, South Carolina

Some residents in Gaffney, South Carolina are being asked to boil their water before using.

Here is the information released Tuesday morning from the Gaffney Board of Public Works:

Area: All Board of Public Works water customers excluding the Macedonia community.

Reason: An interruption of water service occurred in your area.

There should be no contamination to the system. However, because of the loss of pressure or loss of water to your area, the potential for contamination exists. Residents should continue to vigorously boil their water for at least (1) full minute prior to drinking or cooking until notified by the BPW. Also any ice made from water which has not been boiled should not be used for drinking purposes.

What’s Being Done: The water system pressure was restored at 3:00 am on 7/25/2023. The break has been isolated and BPW crews are working to complete the repairs.

Repeal: The conditions of the ADVISORY should be followed until notified through a Repeal by the BPW. The Repeal will be delivered in the same manner as the Boil Water Advisory.

BPW anticipates the Advisory being updated on to 11:59 pm 7/25/2023.

The BPW apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. If you should have any questions concerning this advisory, please contact the BPW office at (864) 488-8800.
