STATESVILLE, N.C. — A water main break near the U.S. Highway 21 crossing on Shelton Avenue at Third Creek has forced water service shutdowns across southern portions of Statesville, officials said. The outage affects multiple neighborhoods, including the Hidden Lakes and Wallace Springs areas.
The shutoff was necessary due to the location of the break and the configuration of the water system, allowing municipal crews to assess damage and perform repairs.
City crews are working to repair the water main and restore service as quickly and safely as possible.
Residents in affected areas should prepare for an extended water outage that could last throughout the day, officials said.
