Hanahan, SC - A water main at the Hanahan Water Treatment Plant has broken. This is the largest plant in the state of South Carolina.

At present, Charleston Water Systems has not issued a boiled water advisory. However, they advise that all customers with trickling water turn it off and boil their water.

As of 10:00 p.m., CWS is not aware how long this break will take to repair. It could take all night. The break is affecting customers on the Charleston Pennisula, West Ashley, parts of Ladson, the North Area, and as far as Ladson.

They are recommending it, but haven't issued the advisement yet. Most probably won't hear much from DHEC until they have water flowing again.

A good source of fresh water is to drain your water heater. Flush a little bit to make sure it is clean. I would also recommend using a water filter if you have it.
