Anson County water customers told to prepare for more outages in coming days

ANSON CO., N.C. – Anson County water customers are bracing for more outages over the next few days. It comes more than a week after a major water main break that impacted more than 22,000 residents.

Officials say the first-round of bacterial test sampling began Thursday. The system is being flushed county-wide so customers may temporarily lose water service.

People who have water should boil it before drinking it or using it to wash food or brush teeth.
