‘Worst case scenario’: Water emergency declared in Chapel Hill, North Carolina

An oversupply of fluoride and a water main break in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, resulted in a declared emergency. Without safe drinking water, all restaurants along with a state university and other schools may be closed until Sunday, officials estimate.

Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA) executive director Ed Kerwin told reporters Friday that Chapel Hill residents would be ordered not to use their water or would be without water altogether for at least 24 hours, perhaps even until Sunday.

“This is essentially a worst case scenario,” Kerwin said, WRAL reported.
