Anson County: Over 24 Hours Without Water Amid Heat

Residents across Anson County experienced a prolonged water outage lasting over 24 hours, significantly impacting daily life, especially amidst the ongoing heat. Emergency management officials have reported that approximately 60% of water service has been restored. However, a boil water advisory is still in effect for the affected areas.

Free water is being distributed at various fire stations and stores in Wadesboro to support residents. The lack of a reliable water supply has created considerable hardship, making basic activities such as bathing, brushing teeth, and cooking extremely difficult. Some residents have reported that even in areas with restored service, the water quality is poor, appearing brown and cloudy.
