A boil water advisory is in effect for the following areas in south Clarkesville: Highway 197 South from Railroad Avenue South including Ellison Street, Rosewood and Roper Drive.
Public Works Director Jeremy Garmon says a contractor boring under the road at the intersection of 197 and Railroad Avenue hit a 6″ water line. Public works crews have repaired the leak. The boil advisory was issued as a precaution because the line was exposed during repairs.
Those in the affected areas should boil their water before drinking, cooking or preparing baby food with it. Water should be boiled for at least one minute after it comes to a rolling boil.
The boil advisory remains in effect until further notice.
