Boil Water Advisory for the Town of Canton | January 26, 2025

ID NO. 01-44-015

The water consumers of the Town of Canton, in Haywood County who are experiencing periods of low pressure and outages in the distribution system due to a break to the large high-flow water line that feeds the mill. Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increase the potential for back siphonage and the introduction of bacteria into the water system.   

Therefore, the Division of Water Resources advises that when water is restored consumers boil all water used for human consumption (including drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation) or use bottled water. 

Vigorous boiling for one (1) minute should kill any disease-causing organisms that may be present in the water. 

This office is strongly urging the water consumers to conserve water whenever possible. This advisory remains in effect until further written notice is issued.
