Public Notice from the Town of Banner Elk
This is a water outage and boil water notification from the Town of Banner Elk.
Water consumers of the Town of Banner Elk in the following areas; Old Turnpike East, Hillside Drive, Meadow Lane, all of Crooked Crook subdivision, Dogwood Road, Willow Way, Balsam Lane, Laurel Lane, Ivy Court, Lecka Lane, Shawneehaw Avenue, Collier Lane, Kaylor Lane, Main Street East from Old Turnpike to and including Elkmont development may have experienced periods of low pressure and outages in the distribution system due to a water main leak.
Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for back siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system. Therefore, the Division of Water Resources advises as water service is restored consumers boil all water used for human consumption (including drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation) or use bottled water. Vigorous boiling for one (1) minute should eliminate the potential for health hazards that may be present in the water.
As water is restored, this boil water advisory will remain in effect for those customers until further notification is issued.
