Asheville's two-day boil water notice has been lifted after tests confirmed the city's water is safe to drink

The city of Asheville, North Carolina, lifted a boil water notice on Tuesday, August 2, 2023, after tests confirmed that the city's water is safe to drink.

The notice was issued on Sunday, July 30, 2023, after a water main break caused a loss of water pressure in the city's distribution system. The loss of pressure created the potential for bacteria to enter the system, prompting the city to issue the boil water notice as a precaution.
