Public Notice from the Town of Banner Elk
The Highlands
This is a Boil Water Notification from the Town of Banner Elk.
Water pressure has been restored to The Highlands. We are issuing a boil water advisory for the Highlands, and it will be in effect until further notice.
Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for back siphonage and introduction of bacteria into the water system. Therefore, the Division of Water Resources advises as water service is restored consumers boil all water used for human consumption (including drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation) or use bottled water. Vigorous boiling for one (1) minute should eliminate the potential for health hazards that may be present in the water.
Thank you to our water consumers for their patience and understanding during this time.
