The failure occurred at approximately 1 a.m., causing water pressures to drop. Crews were dispatched to address the pump station failure and water pressures were reestablished around 4 a.m.
The Clayton County Water Authority is required to issue the advisory for public safety due to the drop in pressure.
Customers in the affected areas should use boiled water that has cooled or bottled water for various activities. This includes drinking, brushing teeth, washing fruits and vegetables, preparing food and baby formula, making ice and giving water to pets.
If customers have cloudy or discolored water, they should run their outside spigot until the water clears. Any customers still having water issues are advised to call 770-960-5200.
