Walhalla asks residents to limit water use after major line break<\/p>\n

\"Chloe<\/a>WALHALLA, S.C. \u2014<\/p>\n

The City of Walhalla, South Carolina, is asking residents to restrict water usage after a major line break caused outages Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

According to the city’s water department, a major line break several miles outside of the city limit resulted in a “substantial loss” that drained the water storage tanks.<\/p>\n

The loss reportedly created widespread pressure loss and service issues for residents.<\/p>\n

Officials say crews worked through the night alongside the Westminster Water Department to locate the issue and make repairs.<\/p>\n

According to the city, repairs have been made to the line, but as the water tanks refill, customers will need to limit their water use. <\/p>\n

This means refraining from activities involving large volumes of water, such as watering lawns and washing cars, the city reports.<\/p>\n

The city did not give an estimate for how long it will be before the tanks are filled.<\/p>\n
