Boil Water Advisories Impact Multiple U.S. Regions

Multiple regions have recently experienced boil-water advisories due to various issues affecting water safety. In Lamar County, Mississippi, a previous boil-water notice for the North Lamar Water Association affecting 150 customers has been lifted without a stated cause for the advisory. Asheville, North Carolina, anticipates lifting its advisory by November 19 as treated water replaces raw water in the system following contamination concerns. The Village of Tangipahoa in New Orleans and the City of Sharon, Kansas, have issued boil-water advisories due to pressure loss, potentially leading to bacterial contamination, with residents advised to boil water before use. Lastly, a precautionary notice has been issued in Jones County, Mississippi, due to a broken line in the Shady Grove utility district.
