All Fort Mill schools in South Carolina were closed on October 8 due to a water main break affecting half the district's facilities. The break, caused by construction crews, disrupted water service and prompted a boil water advisory for residents. The district opted against virtual learning and plans to schedule a make-up day for the next semester. Repairs are ongoing, with updates to be provided as available.
