DEMOREST, Ga. — The City of Demorest has issued a boil water advisory for several areas following a water line repair that may have disrupted service or caused low water pressure in parts of the system.
The advisory, issued March 10, is precautionary due to the potential risk of microbial contamination when water pressure drops.
The affected areas include: Lat Wilson Road, Wilson Road, Oakdale Drive, Old Camp Creek Road, York Drive, and Eastwinds Drive.
City officials say customers who experienced water outages or low pressure should bring tap water to a rolling boil for at least two minutes before consuming or cooking with it. Boiled or bottled water should also be used for brushing teeth, making ice, or watering pets.
The advisory will remain in effect until the city completes testing to confirm the water system is safe. Once it is lifted, residents should flush faucets for at least two minutes before using the water for drinking or food preparation.
Customers with questions may contact the City of Demorest water system at 678-315-1813.
