JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (WITN) – A precautionary boil water advisory has been issued for residents and businesses in the Holiday City Mobile Home Park area of Jacksonville.
The City of Jacksonville says that a contractor working for a telecommunications company damaged a water main and sewer service line while installing fiber conduit within the park.
The water and sewer lines that were affected are privately owned by the mobile home park. Maintenance staff from Holiday City contacted the City to assist with repairs.
City crews are currently helping to restore service.
After the repairs are completed and normal water pressure is restored, the City will begin flushing the water system to ensure water quality.
Out of an abundance of caution, all residents of Holiday City are being asked to boil water for at least two minutes before using it for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, making ice, or washing food.
The City has collected water samples from the system, and laboratory testing is underway. These tests require a minimum of 24 hours to complete. Once the results are received, the City will notify residents whether the boil water notice needs to remain in effect or can be lifted.
