Officials appreciate customers who have reported leaks, especially at unoccupied properties. We ask that customers continue to report any leaks they have or see while out in the community, especially at unoccupied properties where leaks can go unnoticed and unreported, by calling 770.960.5200 (listen to the entire message and then select “0”) or via private message on our Facebook page @ClaytonCountyWater.
Staff continues troubleshooting and finding leaks, mainly in customer service lines. These breaks would have been caused by the below freezing temperatures and continues to impact our distribution system. This has led to low pressure or no water service for customers in several parts of the county.
Officials issued a boil water advisory on December 25 for customers with low pressure. Once water service is restored for customers without service, they will need to follow the boil water advisory as well. The estimated timeline of serving being restored
CCWA notified Georgia Environmental Protection Agency of the issue and the boil water advisory. Customers are being notified via the media, Facebook (@ClaytonCountyWater) and its website (www.ccwa.us).
During this boil water advisory, customers with low pressure should:
o Fill a pot with water.
o Heat the water until bubbles come quickly from the bottom of the pot to the top.
o Keep heating the water for one more minute.
o Turn off the heat source and let the water cool.
o Pour water into a clean, sanitized container with a cover for storage.
Customers should use boiled water that has cooled or bottled water for:
o Drinking
o Brushing teeth
o Washing fruits and vegetables
o Preparing food and baby formula
o Making ice
o Giving to pets
To limit risk, customers should follow the instructions contained in this release.
