Boil water advisory issued for Garner neighborhood


print friendly

Raleigh city officials are advising residents in the Forest Landing neighborhood in Garner to boil their water before consumption because of the possibility of bacterial contamination.

Officials said Tuesday that a water main break has affected potable water service to the neighborhood, near the intersection of Benson Road and Foxbury Drive. The break of the 12-inch main happened about 3 p.m. Monday and affects about 130 customers.

The break has been repaired, but the advisory is in place because of the potential for contamination from cross-connections or back siphonage, officials said. Samples tested so far have not found any contamination.

Residents should bring water to a full boil for about one minute before use for drinking or cooking. Infants and pregnant women are advised to drink bottled water.
