Officials of Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority (BJWSA) and South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (SC DHEC) are advising some residents in Hardeeville to boil their water before using for drinking, cooking or dishwashing, according to spokesperson Pamela Flasch.
The advisory area includes a 1.25-mile radius from the intersection of Whyte Hardee Boulevard, Main Street and Church Street.
The advisory is being issued because of a water main failure.
S.C. DHEC requires that water utilities issue a boil water advisory as a precautionary measure when such an event occurs that allows the possibility for bacteria to enter the public water system. Such an event may include a loss of water pressure, which could allow bacteria in soil and groundwater to enter water pipes through cracks or leaks.
A drop in pressure could also cause backflow, which is best defined by the example of a garden hose in a bucket of dirty water “sucking” that water back into the public water system when the water pressure drops, although backflow prevention valves make this unlikely, the news release said.
BJWSA is currently sampling the drinking water in the area to ensure that no harmful bacteria are present. Results are expected by late afternoon February 12, 2016. Upon confirmation that the water is safe, the precautionary advisory will be lifted, and residents of the area will be notified. Please see our website for the latest information: www.bjwsa.org.
Residents and businesses in the affected area are urged to use boiled or bottled water for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, preparing food and giving to pets until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms that may be present in the water. Some water filters do not protect against bacteria, so customers with filters are advised to contact the manufacturer for more information or boil their tap water. The water is safe for bathing and doing laundry.
Residents may purify the water by using one of several methods.
Disinfection instructions are as follows:
A. If water does not appear to be clear, strain through a clean cloth into a container to remove any sediment or floating matter. If water is clear, omit this step.
B. Disinfection by heat:
C. Chemical Disinfection:
| Available Chlorine | Drops to be added per quart of water for clean water | Drops to be added per quart of water for cloudy water |
| 4 to 6% | 2 | 4 |
| 7 to 10% | 1 | 2 |
| Unknown | 10 | 20 |
Use common liquid chlorine laundry bleach. Read the label to find the percentage of available chlorine and then follow the table below:
Residents are urged to tell their neighbors about this situation who may not receive this message.
Information can also be found at www.bjwsa.org, including a map and a complete listing of all areas addresses affected by this advisory.
For further information, residents can contact BJWSA at 843-987-9200.

An accident on Chatham Parkway is slowing westbound traffic near Interstate 516.
No injuries have been reported. Use caution in the area or avoid it if possible.
Savannah-Chatham police department’s Islands Precinct investigators arrested Rashaun Sanders, 33, after he surrendered at the Chatham County jail on Wednesday.
Sanders is charged with one count of felony shoplifting and additional charges may be pending, said Darnisha Green, police spokeswoman.
Sanders is a suspect linked to a Feb. 3 Wilmington Island shoplifting and downtown Savannah vehicular accident.
Metro officers responded to Walmart on the 4000 block of East U.S. 80 after reports of a male shoplifter seen leaving the scene in a white Dodge Charger. Shortly after, a metro officer spotted a vehicle matching that description traveling westbound on President Street near Pennsylvania Avenue. The vehicle fled at a high rate of speed as the officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop near Harry S. Truman Parkway. The officer then discontinued further pursuit of the vehicle. The suspect continued westbound until losing control of his vehicle, then crashing into Greene Square at the intersection of President and Houston streets.
Property damage to the square was reported. No injuries were reported.
Sanders has been arrested more than 30 times in the Savannah-Chatham jurisdiction, Green said.

Authorities in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, had been hunting Cook on charges of armed rape and terroristic threats, Cohrs said.
