Bladen County SchoolsOvernight Sunday Tar Heel Middle School experienced a water main break causing a temporary shutoff to be done on Monday morning of the school’s water supply. Bladen County Schools maintenance staff was able to quickly and efficiently repair the water line break this morning and return the water flow to normal.

Water quality tests are being conducted with test kits provided by the Bladen County Health Department to ensure safe consumption of the water. School cafeteria staff is able to prepare a hot meal using bottled water for student lunches. Additionally, bottled water has been brought to the school for distribution to students and staff. School restroom facilities are operating properly. The school’s daily schedule is running on time. “We anticipate that all water supplies to the school will return to normal by the end of the day,” said Bladen County Schools Public Relations Director Valerie Newton.
