A water main break has occurred on NC16 Business just north of NC73 around 6:30 on Wednesday evening. Crews arrived at 7:00 to begin assessing the situation and to isolate the water outage to as small an area as possible.
Due to the waterline being located under NC16 Business in this area motorists are encouraged to avoid this portion of NC16 Business due to work in the roadway and potential lane and/or road closures. As the extent of the outage is more understood staff will work to update this messaging.
