Asheville's water crisis continues following Hurricane Helene, which has left the city's water supply laden with sediment and under a boil water notice. City Council member Maggie Ullman announced a mid-December timeline for restoring potable water, contingent on the effectiveness of turbidity treatments and the installation of a temporary filtration system by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Currently, water turbidity levels are at 21 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU), far above the safe threshold of 1.5-2.0 NTU, despite ongoing efforts to reduce sediment. City officials expect to begin supplying treated water by Thanksgiving, though customers will still face a boil water notice for up to two weeks post-treatment. The brewing industry, heavily reliant on clean water, is particularly impacted, with some businesses struggling to find alternative solutions for water supply amidst growing financial concerns. Local residents have expressed gratitude for the efforts of water treatment workers but continue to rely on bottled water for drinking and cooking.
