Residents in parts of Clarkesville are no longer under a boil water advisory, while a separate and unrelated notice remains in effect in Cornelia.
According to the City of Demorest Water Department, the boil water advisory for Five Oaks Drive and the Grand Oaks Subdivision has been lifted following required testing to ensure the water is safe.
The advisory had been issued earlier this week after a fire hydrant replacement caused temporary drops in water pressure.
With the notice now lifted, residents in the affected Clarkesville-area neighborhoods can resume normal water use. Officials recommend flushing all faucets for at least two minutes before using water for drinking or food preparation.
Important Distinction for Readers
This update only applies to customers in the Five Oaks and Grand Oaks areas served by Demorest water.
A separate boil water notice issued Friday in Cornelia remains in effect for several streets following a water main break. That notice is unrelated to the Demorest system and has not yet been lifted.
Residents are encouraged to check which water system serves their home and follow the appropriate guidance.
For questions about the Demorest system, residents may contact the city at 678-315-1813.
