A boil water order was lifted on Thursday after a water main break a day earlier.
Thomas Hubbard of Suez Delaware reported the break occurred at a 12-inch main at its Bellevue storage and pumping facility on Philadelphia Pike just north of Bellevue State Park.
Bellevue is the main northern service territory pumping station that feeds many of the utility’s water tanks in the north Wilmington area.
The Green Acres tank, which is closest to the station quickly drained, which led to the boiled water order.
According to Hubbard, all customers were notified through a reverse 911 phone call, with Suez also using Facebook and Twitter.
