Posted 12/25/22: From the Town of Edisto Beach: With so many ruptured pipes in unoccupied homes due to the freezing weather, water pressure was lost in Town. DO NOT DRINK THE WATER WITHOUT BOILING IT FIRST. Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation until further notice. Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water.
