Boil water advisory lifted for parts of Smithfield

SMITHFIELD, N.C. (WTVD) -- The Boil Water Advisory for the Smithfield South Water District has been lifted, officials said Thursday.

Customers of Smithfield South Water District in Johnston County were placed under a boil water advisory Wednesday.

The district said were periods of low pressure and outages in the distribution system because of a contractor working on water lines for Johnston County.

Periods of low or no pressure in the distribution system increase the potential for back siphonage and the introduction of bacteria into the water system.
