Customers of the South Camden Water District are being asked to limit their water usage to just essential needs. This after a power fluctuation caused damage and forced a water treatment plant to be shut down.

Specifically, those people living in the Courthouse Township and the Shiloh Township should refrain from washing cars and lawns until further notice.

The county's reverse osmosis water treatment plant will be shut down at least until Sunday.

The county says if the county's current water supply is exhausted, Elizabeth City has agreed to allow Camden County to purchase water from them.
