Winston-Salem Water Crisis Update | Winston–Salem News

Winston-Salem and Forsyth County are in crisis mode after a massive 40-foot-deep water main break under a pond, forcing a boil water advisory for affected residents. Crews are working nonstop since the July 29th rupture, flushing hydrants and distributing bottled water (one per car, while supplies last) at schools and the Sheriff’s Office. A real-time map helps residents check if their address is impacted. With water pressure low and testing ongoing, officials say the advisory will stay until test results confirm safety — and they’re asking everyone to conserve water to speed recovery. This infrastructure nightmare underscores just how vital clean water is — and how long it takes to fix when things go wrong.
