CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WINA) – Flooding and a water main break in northern Albemarle County has led the Albemarle County Service Authority to issue a boil water notice for approximately 1,200 customers. Most are residences but several businesses are affected, as well, including Charlottesville Albemarle Airport and the University of Virginia Research Park. Officials say the notice is expected to last for several days.

To properly boil water, bring tap water to a “rolling” boil, boil for one minute and cool before using. The water is safe for bathing, but water should be boiled before drinking, using it to cook and wash dishes, and using to brush your teeth.

The full list of areas affected is found below.
