CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – The Charleston Water System (CWS) has issued a Boil Water Advisory for approximately 1,000 customers in the areas of Berrywood Drive, Lincolnville Road, Highway 78, and the entire town of Lincolnville.

The advisory comes after damage to a 16-inch water main that resulted in a significant loss of water pressure.

Workers fixed the damage Tuesday afternoon; all customers should have full water pressure.

 The advisory will remain in place until CWS confirms the water is safe to drink.
