City of Morganton issued the following announcement on Mar. 2.
Citizens in the areas of Glen Alpine and Highway 70 West may notice some discolored water in the coming days. There is no need for concern.
City crews are bringing the new water tank at the Burke Industrial Park online beginning Thursday, March 3, 2022. Bringing the tank online will reverse the flow of water through the water system’s pipes, and may cause some sediment build up to shake loose in the pipes.
If citizens notice discoloration in their water, simply run cold water through a faucet until it clears up. Regardless of any potential discoloration, the water will be safe to use.
For more information, call the Water Resources Department at 828-438-5276.
