System Pressure Advisory!
The water consumers of Town of Ramseur in Randolph County are experiencing periods
of low pressure and outages in the distribution system due to a water leak. Periods of low
or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for back siphonage and
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 notification is issued.

Aviso de Presión Baja
en el Sistema de Distribución de Agua
Los clientes del sistema Town of Ramseur en el condado de Randolph están
confrontando períodos de presión baja e interrupciones en el sistema de distribución
debido a water leak. Períodos de presión baja o no presión incrementan la posibilidad del
efecto de sifón y la introducción de bacterias en el sistema.
Una vez sea restaurado el servicio, la División de Recursos de Agua aconseja hervir el
agua utilizada para consumo humano (incluyendo: agua de tomar, hacer hielo, cepillado
de dientes, lavado de utensilios de cocina, y preparación de comida) a menos que se
utilice agua embotellada.
Hervir el agua por un (1) minuto debería eliminar cualquier organismo causante the
enfermedades que pudiera estar presente en el agua.
Esta oficina urge la conservación del agua siempre que sea posible.
Este aviso permanece en efecto hasta una próxima notificación escrita.
