Asheville Lifts Advisory; Sussex and Hinesville Affected

Sussex and Hinesville are currently under boil water advisories following water main issues, with Sussex facing a construction accident and Hinesville dealing with a water main break. In Sussex, the advisory is expected to last several days while integrity tests are conducted, whereas Hinesville's advisory is a precautionary measure. Meanwhile, Asheville has lifted its boil water advisory, which had been in effect for over seven weeks due to damage from Tropical Storm Helene. This storm had severely impacted Asheville's water distribution, but recent testing confirmed the water is now free of contaminants. Businesses and residents in Asheville are relieved, resuming normal water use, but those with older plumbing are advised to continue flushing their systems. The lifting of the advisory marks a significant step in Asheville's recovery from the storm.
