Water service has been restored to homes along Walls Bridge and Tech School Roads in Habersham County after being disrupted for several hours on Wednesday. Clarkesville City Public Works Superintendent Jeremy Garmon says service was restored around 10pm after crews repaired a pipe that was leaking. The repairs took six and a half hours. Homeowners in the area were without water much of that time.
A boil water advisory remains in effect in the area until further notice. Water samples are being sent to a lab to make sure the water was not contaminated during repairs.
The advisory affects city water customers who live on Walls Bridge Road, Walls Bridge Loop, Tech School Road and in Eldorado Village. The advisory also affects North Habersham Middle School. Garmon says he has notified school officials.
If you live in the affected areas you should boil your water for at least one minute past a rolling boil before drinking, cooking or preparing baby food with it.
Updates on the boil water advisory will be posted here at nowhabersham.com and on the Now Habersham Facebook page.
