Hillsborough Water customers may experience low water pressure and outages tonight as the Town makes improvements to the water system.

Water Department officials say customers in the Orange Mobile Home Estates and Colonial Hills area will be affected.

The Water Department will perform work from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. Crews must turn off water in the area for a few hours to make connections for a 12-inch water main that will replace an old one that runs under I-85.

Customers on Kennedy Circle, Adams Place, Lawrence and Piney Grove Church roads, Lannie, Jefferson and Washington drives and sections of Old N.C. 10 will also be under a water boil advisory. The Town advises customers to boil all water used for human consumption or to use boiled water from 10 p.m. Thursday until further notice. This includes water used for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, making ice, and washing hands. Vigorous boiling for one minute should kill any disease-causing organisims.

After work has been completed, the Town of Hillsborough will test water samples and issue notices to stop boiling water.
