The Water Department in Walhalla, South Carolina has issued a 24-hour boil water advisory for several neighborhoods after recent water line work. Customers may experience low water pressure and discolored water as the system repressurizes, and are advised to boil all water for at least 3 minutes before use to ensure safety.
