The City of Demorest has lifted the boil water advisory issued April 17 after test results confirmed the water system is safe for normal use.
The advisory was originally put in place following a water main break that caused low water pressure in parts of the system, raising concerns about possible contamination. Affected areas included portions of Crane Mill Road, Mt. Zion Road west of Ga. 365, King Road, Coon Creek, Underwood Road, and surrounding areas.
City officials say required testing has now been completed, and no public health concerns remain.
Residents in the impacted areas may resume normal use of tap water for drinking, cooking, and other household needs. As a precaution, officials recommend flushing faucets for at least two minutes before using water for consumption.
The advisory had been issued out of an abundance of caution, in line with public health guidance, until the system could be fully tested and cleared.
For additional information, residents can contact the City of Demorest at 678-315-1813.
