• Kernersville water main break closes part of West Mountain Street (wxii12.com) — Part of West Mountain Street in Kernersville is closed between Dobson and Hepler Streets after a water main break, and there’s still no estimate for when repairs will finish. City-County Utilities crews are on scene, and while no outages are reported yet, homes and businesses along West Mountain between Dobson and Nelson could temporarily lose water once repairs ramp up, so drivers and residents should plan alternate routes and be prepared. 
• From Winston-Salem to Kernersville, businesses navigate a costly water outage (wfmynews2.com) — Kernersville businesses are still tallying losses nearly a week after a major Forsyth County water main break shut them down and triggered a boil-water advisory. Owners from Winston-Salem to Kernersville describe lost revenue, idle employees, equipment checks, and frustration over limited communication, while utilities officials say the aging pipe was already slated for replacement and bill credits aren’t planned.
