SOUTH POINT — Due to a water line break the South Point Water Department is advising residents on the following streets to vigorously boil, for at least one minute, any water used for drinking (including water used to make ice), cooking or oral hygiene: Third Street and Second Street and all streets turning off these streets from the Village Park to Hooper Drive (by McMeans Pharmacy).

The South Point Water Department has no evidence at this time that the water system is contaminated. The possibility does exist however and is issuing this advisory as a precaution.

If no further notice is given after Saturday then the samples are normal and the water is safe.
