City helps utility boost water pressure in north Raleigh neighborhood
In a statement issued Thursday afternoon, Aqua North Carolina said it worked with the City of Raleigh to install a temporary water connection to boost pressure in one local neighborhood.
Posted — Updated"As of this afternoon, pressure in the Stonehenge system has increased to normal levels. However, customers in the area are still being asked to limit using water for non-essential needs until further notice, including watering lawns, plants and shrubs," Aqua said in a statement.
The president of Aqua America told WRAL News on Wednesday that recent water shortages or outages are due to overuse.
A spokesperson warned that customers could see "temporary discoloration of their water" or a slightly different taste.
"Aqua continues to work on a permanent solution to address the water pressure issues in the area," the statement said.
