Water main break causes low pressure and outages; boil‑water notice in effect
Sunset Beach, NC — Brunswick County Public Utilities has issued a System Pressure Advisory for customers along East Main Street in Sunset Beach, where a water main break has caused periods of low pressure and intermittent outages.
The affected area includes East Main Street, addresses 435 through 602, impacting approximately 45 residential connections. Customers are being notified through door hangers and ReadyBrunswick alerts.
