Update on Water Main Break ⚠️

WSFC Utilities and contractor crews have been working continuously since the significant water main break that occurred on July 29. Crews worked throughout the night to assess the damage and begin repairs.

The damaged water main is located beneath a manmade pond in a remote area, making access difficult. During excavation, crews found the water main is approx. 40 feet below ground. The main has been successfully isolated, allowing excavation efforts to assess the damage.

Isolating the water main has enabled crews to restore operations at several critical facilities and significantly improve service across the distribution system. Water pressure is steadily recovering in many areas.

A water boil advisory remains in effect for customers in the affected area. An interactive map to determine affected addresses has been posted at the link in bio.

Please conserve water whenever possible. The advisory will remain in effect until water quality testing confirms the water is safe and an official notice has been issued lifting the advisory.

Water quality sampling began last night in areas where water pressure has returned to normal and will continue throughout the day. Once laboratory testing confirms there has been no contamination, the water boil advisory will be lifted.

Crews will be flushing fire hydrants throughout the affected area. Residents may observe water being discharged from hydrants as crews work to restore water quality and remove any air or sediment from the system. This is a normal and necessary part of the recovery effort.

Forsyth County and the City of Winston-Salem are partnering to provide bottled water to residents affected by the recent water service disruptions at the following locations (while supplies last):

Griffith Elementary School
Kennedy High School
Kernersville Elementary School
Walkertown High School
Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office

Each site will operate as a drive-thru. To help as many households as possible, distribution is limited to one case of bottled water per vehicle.

Important Salon Notice

Hi everyone!

Due to the recent water main break, our area is currently under a boil water advisory. After researching the recommendations, I’ve learned that water quality during a boil advisory can affect the performance of professional hair color and lightening products. Because of this, I cannot guarantee the results or safety of bleach or color services until the advisory has been lifted.

The health and safety of my clients—and the quality of my work—are always my top priorities. Rather than risk uneven color, unexpected chemical reactions, or compromised results, I will be postponing all color and lightening appointments until the water is declared safe again.

Haircuts, waxing, and other services that are not affected by the water advisory may still be available on a case-by-case basis.

If your appointment is impacted, I’ll be reaching out to reschedule you as soon as the advisory is lifted. Thank you so much for your patience, understanding, and support. I truly appreciate each of you and look forward to seeing you soon!

I will be off today due to the no water issue a portion of our town is dealing with. It’s suppose to be back on at 5pm. I won’t be able to confirm that is true until 5pm. Thanks for understand ❤️
