MOUNT HOLLY, N.C. — The City of Mount Holly issued a boil water advisory for a portion of the town Thursday due to a ruptured water main.

City officials posted a map of the affected area on social media.

The concern is that harmful bacteria can get into the water system and make people sick.

For now, customers may experience periods of low water pressure and outages.

When water is restored, residents within the affected area are advised to boil water for one minute before cooking, washing dishes or brushing teeth. This should kill any disease-carrying organisms that may be in the water.
