Boil-water advisory in place in Blowing Rock, following water line leak

Town officials reported that repairs to a major water line leak were complete by Monday evening, and residents should boil their water until at least Wednesday.

BLOWING ROCK, N.C. — The Town of Blowing Rock expects water service to return to all customers following a water line leak that left some with low water pressure or no water at all. Officials reported all repairs were complete by Monday 8 p.m.

Town residents are asked to boil any running water until further notice. The advisory could lift by Wednesday, pending water test results, the town said.

Town officials posted on Facebook Monday about the outage, saying crews were still working to locate the problem. At 1 p.m., the town said crews were able to find the major leak and were working to assess the necessary repairs.

The American Red Cross helped distribute bottled water at the Blowing Rock American Legion Building, which is located at 333 Wallingford Street behind Blowing Rock City Park.
