Use bottled water or boiled water that has cooled for:
- Drinking
- Brushing teeth
- Washing fruits and vegetables

The advisory is in effect until Tega Cay and the South Carolina Department of Environmental Services (SCDES) are confident there is no longer a public health concern. We will provide the next update by 3 p.m. on Thursday, July 11, 2024. Customers will be notified immediately when the advisory is lifted.
