Dorchester County Water Authority's boil water advisory will remain in effect until Friday morning March 20, 2026.

A major line break has resulted in a loss of pressure and service to many customers of the system. There has been no confirmed contamination of the system. However, due to the loss of pressure, customers are advised to vigorously boil their water for at least 1 minute before drinking or cooking.

Use bottled water or boiled water that has cooled for:  Drinking, brushing teeth, washing fruits and vegetables, preparing food and baby formula, making ice, giving to pets, etc

 

We will update this advisory when we receive further communication.
