BLUE RIDGE, Ga. — Some residents in North Georgia could be without water Saturday after an issue with the city’s water treatment plant.
The Blue Ridge Water System was experiencing problems with both pumps at the water treatment plant and supplies of water in storage tanks were beginning to get low.
One of the pumps is now operating and supplying water.
Some Blue Ridge water customers could be out of water by the afternoon or early evening.
Water customers are asked to conserve water until tanks can refill and both pumps are operational.
A precautionary boil water advisory has been issued for the city of Blue Ridge.
A potable water tanker will be at Blue Ridge City Hall beginning at 4 p.m. for Blue Ridge water customers to pick up water in their own containers.
Bottled water will be available at the Fannin County Fire Station 1 in Blue Ridge also beginning at 4 p.m. for Blue Ridge Water customers.
