Tallulah Falls has issued a boil water advisory for Hickory Nut Mountain and Gorge View residents. The town issued the advisory after American Water completed repairs on the town’s water system late Thursday afternoon.
Those in the affected areas are advised to bring water to a rolling boil for two minutes before brushing their teeth, drinking, cooking, or preparing baby food with it.
The advisory remains in effect until further notice.
Tallulah Falls is also asking residents in the Hickory Nut Mountain area to conserve water until the water supply is replenished.
“We are asking that residents in the Hickory Nut Mountain area continue to conserve excess water usage to help the tank recover,” a notice from Tallulah Falls states. “You may continue to use water; just please refrain from any extraordinary water usage.”
