Water Line Br
Holiday At Sh?
Students at Shallotte Middle School received a plea
sant surprise last Tuesday when a water line near the
front of the property burst and the children got an afternoon
holiday.
Bill Turner, assistant superintendent of operations
for Brunswick County schools, said students were
dismissed at 11:30 a.m. because there was no water
available.
He said superintendents are required by law to con
sider closing any school if it is without water for more
than two hours.
The decision to send students home early, he explained,
was based on the fact that it would not have
been safe or healthy to keep the children in class
without water service.
Shallotte Water Supervisor Albert Hughes said last
Tuesday's problem, the first of three breaks in the same
water line last week, resulted in about 100 customers
losing water for approximately 12 hours. All town
residents in Brierwood Estates and others along N.C.
179 lost service from about 3 a.m. until 3 p.m.

water tap to Shallotte Middle School had rusted and
weakened.
Hughes said the same six-inch line, constructed of
i asbestos and concrete, broke again Wednesday and
Thursday after water which leaked during the initial
break weakened the pipe and created an unstable base
around it.
The two other cracks occurred in the same general
area but at different points in the line, he said.
According to Hughes, the town waited until school
closed both Wednesday and Thursday before shutting
off the water.
On Wednesday, the same 100 customers were
without water service for about four hours, from 4 p.m.
to 8 p.m. He said only a few customers lost town water
for about three hours Thursday afternoon.
Despite the three leaks, Hughes said, "We got on it
i pretty quickly. There wasn't that much water lost."
Turner added that students will not have to make
up the missed class time.

Students and staff of two county
schools are drinking county water instead
of well water this week?and
liking it.
Both South Brunswick High School
and South Brunswick Middle School
were connected to the county water
line on N.C. 87 at Boiling Spring
Ixikes last Friday, said Bill Turner,
special assistant to the superintendent
of schools.
"We're real excited about it," he
continued, adding, "It was not the
best water. County water is making
all the difference in the world. That's
all they're talking about."
Principals also like the increased
pressure provided by the 6-inch line.
The pumps will be left for the time
being, he said, and would have to be
used in the event of an emergency.
Still, he's as glad as anyone that
the schools have county water.
Treatment of the well water had
been costing the county $24 a day for
salt alone, he noted, with daiiy water
consumption at the two schools combined
is roughly 20,000 gallons.
County water became available to
the schools with the start-up last year
of the county's new 24 uigu plum at
Northwest and extension of a line
along N.C. 87 south to Southport.
With the addition of the two Boiling
