Boil water advisory lifted

Posted: Updated:
RICHLAND COUNTY, SC (WIS) -

The City of Columbia Water Works has repealed a boil water advisory for a neighborhood in Richland County that was issued Friday night.

The boil water advisory was issued for water customers in the 600 and 700 blocks of Southlake Rd., including Eastbranch Rd., Kinlock Ct. and Formby Drive.  LB Nelson Elementary School is included in the advisory.

It was repealed Sunday morning.

Water crews say a broken 8-inch water main could have led to bacterial contamination of water in the area.
