On Monday, October 18, Charlotte Water confirmed that a break occurred at the 1400 block of Remount Road. Crews have closed valves to isolate the break and begun the process of restoring service to several impacted zip codes. Please see attached map for more details. The affected areas of the system are roughly bounded:

Charlotte Water will be working to restore the system to normal operational condition over the next 24 to 48 hours. Residents can review the impacted areas on the

interactive boil water advisory area map. 

In an abundance of caution, customers who were affected by low or no water pressure can boil water used for human consumption (including drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation) vigorously for (1) one minute. Water customers are strongly urged to conserve water whenever possible. This advisory remains in effect until further written notification is issued.

Until the advisory ends, customers who experienced a loss of water should boil water used for human consumption (including drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation) vigorously for (1) one minute.

If you live in the impacted zone (see map) and are not sure if your home lost water, assume a loss of water and boil water used for human consumption.

Iron particles settle out of the water and accumulate in the bottom of water mains. During a water main break or outage, these mineral deposits are dislodged and can cause cloudy or discolored water.
