Boil Order for Parts of Charleston

Parts of Charleston will be under a boil order this week as city crews repair a fire hydrant on West State Street.  Work will begin at 9am Thursday, October 12, 2023.  Water will be shut off for two to three hours, and once service is restored, the area of State Street and North Decker Springs Road will be under a boil order.  The public works department will hang red boil order cards on all affected locations once the order goes into effect.  Green cards signifying the end of the boil order will be distributed once water samples pass quality tests.  Officials expect that to happen early Friday morning, October 13, 2023.
