There was a sense of relief in the city, though some residents said they were still afraid to drink the water.

Asheville’s boil water advisory was lifted on Monday, Nov. 18, nearly two months after Hurricane Helene wreaked havoc on the western region of North Carolina. The advisory went into effect over 50 days ago.

Asheville officials say the water in the city’s reservoir is still too murky. which means it’s unsafe to drink from the faucet in the city.
