Charleston County SC and part of Dorchester County, SC is without running water right now.
A main broke in the water line so my whole "Tricounty area" is without water right now.....probably about 100000-150000 (this is my estimate). there are not any links on the web right now....but i called several news stations and just saw a report....
AFTER edit: I should probably say that this is not an April Fool's

It was a 48" main that broke...the largest in the state...and the largest leaving the treatment plant...
pressures are back up (not normal pressure)...b/c of loss of pressure issuing a BOIL WATER ADVISORY
edited to give a better link...and noticed it was more like 400,000 that might have been affected
