Boil water advisory lifted for Mount Pleasant neighborhood

MOUNT PLEASANT, SC (WCSC) - Mount Pleasant Waterworks officials lifted a boil water advisory for Dunes West residents affected by a water outage.

"The water main was repaired and flushed thoroughly," MPW Chairman Rick Crosby said. "Bacteriological water samples were collected and analyzed by the Mount Pleasant Waterworks' Lab. The results of this sampling indicate that the system is safe to use for drinking and cooking purposes."

Customers may experience discolored water or air in their lines as a result of the flushing and are instructed to let the faucet run until the air and/or color dissipates, he said.
