Crewe under boil water advisory after water main break reduces pressure

The town of Crewe in Virginia is currently under a boil water advisory following a water main break on Sunday, November 8, WWBT reported.

Although repairs were made the same night, the town's storage tanks have not fully recovered, leading to ongoing water pressure problems, especially in the west end of Crewe.

Officials noted that production and electrical issues on Tuesday, November 10, caused further drops in water pressure for residents.

Before the main break, crews identified a malfunctioning pump that was operating but not working properly; an emergency contractor believes this pump needs replacement and is contributing to the low pressure.

Residents are also warned about possible discoloration in their water while the advisory remains in effect.
