Water boil advisory in effect for Mt Airy until 6pm Thursday

A water boil advisory remains in effect for people on the Mt Airy water system until 6pm Thursday.

The advisory was issued yesterday after crews cut into an old pipeline while installing new lines in front of city hall. Residents were without water for several hours. Water service has since been restored.

A boil advisory means you should bring water to a rolling boil for 3 minutes before consuming.
