Public Notice from Cayce Utilities

The City has experienced a water main break near the intersection of Godley Street and New State Road.  Customers may experience brown water while the repair is being made. This discoloration is typically caused by harmless minerals (such as iron and manganese) that can become stirred up in water mains during operational changes.  There is no indication the water is unsafe. The discoloration should be temporary.  Customers who notice discolored water may run cold water from a faucet for several minutes until it clears. It is recommended to avoid washing light-colored laundry, if discoloration is noticed, until the water runs clear. Customers will not need to boil water unless system pressure is lost in their area.  Although this is not anticipated, customers will be notified if it becomes necessary.  The City expects the repair to be completed this afternoon.  Customers who have questions may contact Cayce Utilities at (803) 550-9542.
