Special Montreat Minute-Water Notice

October 10, 2024

PLEASE READ IMMEDIATELY

SPECIAL WATER NOTICE

As you may know, Black Mountain is turning on its water today, but only for toilet flushing. In fact, it is not drinkable even if boiled. They will be making an announcement via cell phone. Depending upon your phone and location, you may receive this emergency Code Red message from Black Mountain.

BE ADVISED: This does not affect Montreat water. Our water system is completely independent of Black Mountain’s system. Our Town staff, including our water operator, Public Works Director, and Town Manager are confident that our water is safe to consume after a rolling boil of at least one minute.

We will provide a water update at tomorrow’s (Friday, 10/11) Town meeting at 9:00am in the Assembly Inn registration lobby.
