AIKEN, S.C. — Water pressure is back for customers in Aiken, S.C.’s Woodside Plantation after city crews repaired a broken main on Woodside Plantation Drive on Sunday morning, Nov. 8.
Aiken’s Engineering and Utilities Department reported the break near 100 Laurel Oak Drive. It left many homes with low water pressure, mostly inside Woodside, while workers shut off the damaged section so they could fix it. Cutting off that section also brought pressure back to a number of the affected customers before the repair was done.
Later Sunday the city said the work was finished and service had returned for everyone affected. Because crews fixed the line without breaching the main, no boil water advisory is needed, according to the city.
Woodside Plantation is the largest master-planned community in Aiken, a gated development covering about 3,000 acres with four golf courses, built along Woodside Plantation Drive in the southern part of the city.
The water system there has other work on the books. The city has put out a bid for crews to relocate roughly 400 linear feet of 12-inch PVC waterline in Woodside Plantation and install a new fire hydrant assembly to city specifications.
Residents with questions about water service can reach the Engineering and Utilities Department through City of Aiken offices at 111 Chesterfield St. S.
