Asheville's Boil Water Advisory Ends After Nearly Two Months
TL;DR
Asheville has lifted its boil water notice after a 53-day water crisis caused by Hurricane Helene, which led to high sediment levels in the North Fork Reservoir. The city confirmed the water's safety after testing 120 samples, but residents are advised to limit large water usage temporarily. The crisis began when the storm disrupted the main water supply, but the system has been flushed of untreated water since last week.
