Waterline repairs prompt boil water notices for 2 Myrtle Beach areas | WBTW

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) — Waterline repairs at two Myrtle Beach locations have prompted precautionary boil water notices, the city said Monday.

The city advises all water used for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth or washing dishes be boiled before use. A rolling boil of one minute is considered efficient.

The city’s public works department is repairing the 2-inch water lines that were involved at both locations. The lines will be thoroughly flushed and bacteriological samples will be drawn once the repairs are complete.

The boil water notice will be lifted once the test results are cleared, which typically takes 48 hours.
