CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Asheville firefighters continued going door-to-door with supplies of water Saturday after a huge outage that city officials blamed on frigid temperatures that shut down a water treatment plant.
About 38,000 south Asheville customers lost water or were advised to boil what came through their taps after the Dec. 24 shutdown, the Associated Press reported. The plant was restarted on Wednesday, but officials said it would take time for the water system to return to normal.
On Twitter Saturday, city officials urged customers who have water to limit what they use.
