Boil Water Advisory Lifted

May 14, 2025 - The Boil Water Advisory for users of Reidsville’s water system has been lifted.

Water samples collected following Tuesday morning’s water main break and subsequent repair by the City of Reidsville’s Public Works Department were incubated for the required 24 hours. No signs of contamination were found.

The City of Reidsville appreciates the patience of our residents and local businesses over the past two days while repairs were made to the 12-inch waterline on Park Lane. Our Street Department has repaired the roadway following the pipe repair and laid down gravel for the street’s eventual repaving.

Water should be restored to all Reidsville homes and businesses, but if you are still experiencing issues, please contact the Public Works Department at 336-349-1070 during normal work hours, 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. weekdays. After hours if you experience water or sewer issues, please call 336-634-3300.

As was reported earlier, electrical surges brought on by Monday night’s weather caused one of the Reidsville Water Plant’s high service pumps to rapidly energize and de-energize. This caused excessive pressure in the water distribution system, which led to a water main break on one of the City’s 12-inch pipes that caused a rapid loss of water supply and pressure. Upon repairing a roughly 4-foot section of broken pipe, City Public Works crews uncovered another leak on the same waterline, ultimately resulting in about 14 feet of waterline that had to be restored.
