UPDATE: Jones County boil water advisory lifted
The Jones County Water Department says a boil advisory issued Monday has been lifted.
UPDATE (9/18): The boil advisory has been lifted, according to the Jones County Water Department.
UPDATE (9/16): Jones County Water Superintendent Brandon Stark says the boil water advisory was issued after an “unforeseen challenge” while crews were updating and expanding the water system caused water to drop below the required pressure.
“As always, these situations are never expected and we appreciate everyone’s understanding and patience during this time,” he wrote.
ORIGINAL STORY (9/16):
GRAY, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Several water customers in Jones County are under a boil water advisory for the next 24-48 hours.
That’s according to a post Monday night on the Jones County Water Department’s Facebook page.
“Attention Lite N Tie (from Homer Roberts to Gray Hwy), Clinton Crossing, Twin Lakes, Aaron Cir, Home Roberts, Graham Rd and Walnut Grove Rd! We are still trying to get your water outage restored as we speak,” the post stated. “When we do, you will unfortunately be under a boil water advisory for the next 24-48 hours.”
The post apologized for the delay, saying the water outage was unexpected and repairs were not expected “to take this long.”
The water department has not revealed what led to the outage or how long customers have been affected, but Superintendent Brandon Stark said in an email to news outlets that more information would be provided later.
