IRMO (WACH)- The City of Columbia Waterworks advises the water customers of the Ascot Subdivision between Kennerly Road and Hollingshed Road, located in Richland County, to vigorously boil their water for at least one (1) full minute prior to drinking or cooking.
Also, any residents near the affected area who have lost water and/or water pressure are also advised to vigorously boil their water for at least one (1) full minute prior to drinking or cooking.
The City of Columbia has experienced a twelve inch (12”) water line break.
This could possibly result in bacterial contamination of the water in the area of the Ascot Subdivision between Kennerly Road and Hollingshed Road. Water customers should continue to vigorously boil their water for at least one (1) full minute prior to drinking or cooking until otherwise notified by the City of Columbia Waterworks. Also, any ice made from water that has not been boiled should not be used for drinking purposes.
