Boil Water Notice LIFTED

Boil Water Notice LIFTED for Belton-Honea Path Water Authority Customers

SEPTEMBER 30, 2024, 10 AM:  Belton-Honea Path Water Authority is lifting a Boil Water Notice that was part in effect for ALL its customers, including the City of Belton, Town of Honea Path, and Donalds-Due West District.

Following Hurricane Helene, Belton-Honea Path Water instructed residents to use boiled tap water or bottled water for consumption to protect public safety. Consumption includes drinking, brushing teeth, making ice, food preparation, fruit and vegetable washing and the preparation of baby formula. Customers do NOT need to boil water prior to using it for showering or bathing.

This notice was necessary because flooding negatively affected the water quality entering our water treatment plant to such a degree that we couldn’t be 100% certain of its safety.

Following water quality testing that confirmed the safety of the drinking water, the boil water notice has been LIFTED.

Please share this information with all the other people who drink B-HP water, especially those who may not have received this notice directly (for example, people in apartments, nursing homes, schools, and businesses).  You can do this by posting this notice in a public place or distributing copies by hand or mail.
