PITT COUNTY, N.C. (WITN) — A boil advisory is in place for certain neighborhoods in Pitt County after water was shut off for an emergency main repair.

The Town of Ayden says low water pressure and outages are impacting several areas, including Lee Street between West Barwick Street and Allen Drive.

Residents are asked to boil all water used for consumption, such as drinking, washing dishes, and brushing teeth, for at least one minute, or to use bottled water instead.

The advisory will remain in effect until further notice.
