BREAK Continued from 1A began experiencing periods of low water pressure and outages in the distribution system Monday morning, Knighton said. Problems with low water pressure in the affected area also oc curred around 6 p.m. when people got home from work and began preparing meals and carrying out other ac tivities. Among those feeling the effect of the low pres sure were Vidant Chowan Hospital and the Hampton Inn, she said. Vidant Chowan Hospital is providing bottled water and ice to patients. ‘To support the Town of Edenton, Vidant Chowan Hospital has been in water conservation mode since Monday, as we realize we are a mqjor consumer of the towns water supply,” said Kelly Herr, hospital spokes woman. “We are working with the town to lift the re striction. Additionally, we have procured a supply of bottled water and ice for pa tient consumption.” Herr said though the hos pital does have a separate well, it is not used for con sumption purposes, only during disaster-type situa tions to flush toilets. Knighton said the af fected area ran from North Broad Street near Church Street then north to Peanut Drive. Downtown business af fected by the boil advisory closed or adjusted their hours of operation. THEATER Continued from 1A said, “I hope it will be re paired.

Nearby, Shephard- Pruden Library on West Wa ter Street placed its water fountains and restrooms out-of-service as a caution ary measure because the library experiences a higher volume of patrons during the summer. Edenton Coffee House on South Broad Street closed Tuesday morning due to concerns about the water pressure. Chowan Herald’s office on South Broad Street also was affected by the wa ter flow. Though the number of gallons a swimming pool may hold varies according to size, an average sized in-ground pool may hold 20,000 gallons. So if 800,000 gallons of water was lost by the line break, that would be the equivalent to amount of water held by 40 swimming pools. Knighton said the town was notified about the wa ter leak Monday by an early morning walker who saw a problem with the sidewalk on her route and heard gur gling water. Knighton said she did not have the name of the person who made the call, but expressed gratitude for the citizen being obser vant and quick to notify the town concerning the situa tion. Public Works crews for the town identified the wa ter main break about 9 a.m. Monday morning, Knighton said, with assistance from Chowan County Water Department staff and the memories in downtown Edenton especially the theater that’s what makes a small town so amazing it has little shops one the ater available and every one knows everyone you don’t appreciate it until you move away and real ize small town life really isn’t bad especially this lady here Arizona could North Carolina Department of Transportation. “The town put a small boat in the creek to get close enough to the water line to determine the location and extent of the break,” she said. Knighton said the lost water traveled through an 8-inch line and was released into Filbert’s Creek and Edenton Bay. “The water line is at tached to the Filbert’s Creek Bridge, and at this time we are investigating what exactly caused the line to break,” Knighton said. “The town is working with a contractor to deter mine if the water main can be repaired or needs to be replaced. NCDOT is assist ing the town in evaluating options as the bridge is maintained by NCDOT.” Knighton, with assis tance from Chowan County Clerk Susanne Stallings, began notifying the public concerning the break and its affect on the town’s wa ter system. “The county’s reverse 911 system was activated and sent recorded mes sages to land lines and cell phones registered to re ceive alerts,” she said. “The county assisted the town by notifying the State Emer gency Operations Center, to put the state on stand by in case the town needed additional resources but fortunately resources were not needed.” Edenton Fire Chief Craig Forlines put an incident ac tion plan in place in case there might be a structure never compare to Eden ton north Carolina.

Fortu nately, that did not happen, she said. “The town also notified the Chowan County Health Department and the health department in turn notified businesses permitted to serve food of the boil water advisory that was being put into place, as this impacts permits,” Knighton said. Knighton added that pe riods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increases the potential for bacteria to be introduced into the town’s water sys tem so the town began ad vising customers as quickly as possible earlier in the day to boil all water used for human consumption and activities such as drinking water, making ice, brushing their teeth, washing dishes and preparing food) or to use bottled water only. “Vigorous boiling for one minute should kill any dis ease-causing organisms that may be present in the wa ter,” the town manager said. Knighton said that in such situations the town is required to deliver water samples to a certified lab to be checked for the potential presence of bacteria. “The Boil Water Advisory will remain in effect until the test samples show the water is safe to drink,” Knighton said. “The testing process normally takes 18 to 24 hours to complete. It may be Wednesday before we get a water sample analysis report. The town will issue a repeal of the Boil Water Ad visory when results confirm the water is safe to drink.” let’s continue to have this theater open and running as part of our small town future!” Scott Phelps said, “Oh no I hope it can be fixed fairly quickly And not too expensive.
