Update: Boil water notice no longer in effect for portion of North Myrtle Beach
There is no longer a boil water notice for a portion of North Myrtle Beach following a water line break Tuesday morning.
The notice applied to Ye Olde Kings Highway from 20th Avenue North to 24th Avenue North and 24th Avenue North to Hill Street, according to a Facebook post from the City of North Myrtle Beach. People in the area impacted by the broken water line should boil water before consumption, the post states.
NMB spokesperson Pat Dowling said the city is collecting samples for testing and will receive test results Wednesday.
Dowling said “this was a large water line.” Whenever a water line breaks and causes a loss of pressure in part of the system, officials have to take the boil water precaution, he said.
