DORCHESTER COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) — The Dorchester County Water and Sewer Department has issued a boil water advisory for several neighborhoods following an emergency water line repair on Wednesday.

The advisory impacts all residents and businesses on the following:

  • Bent Creek Drive

  • Rice Mill Drive
  • Aspen Woods Lane

Once the water supply is fully restored, customers are strongly advised to boil their water vigorously for at least one full minute before drinking, cooking, or making ice. Any ice made with unboiled water during the advisory period should be thrown out.

Officials say the advisory will remain in effect until laboratory tests confirm the water is safe for consumption.
