(Stafford)- Stafford utility crews found the source of a waterline break that caused about 5,000 people to be placed under a boil-water advisory. The water line broke under Austin Run, intersecting with Route 1. The line broke late Tuesday night as a heavy rain storm was ending. All water service has been restored. The boil water advisory is still in effect until the utilities department verifies that water is safe for consumption. The county says customers impacted in North Stafford should flush all faucets before use by running cold water for at least five minutes. This should also resolve any discolored water you may have. Continue to boil water until further notice.
