Houston County: A boil water advisory was issued late Tuesday following a water main break near the intersection of State Route 247 and Elberta Road. Residents and businesses near Elberta Road, State Route 247 north of Elberta Road, Dunbar Road, Story Road and Plantation Road are advised to boil water at a hard rolling boil for at least one minute before drinking, cooking, or brushing teeth.
The advisory will remain in effect until the Houston County Water Department confirms water safety through testing. For more information, concerned individuals may contact the Houston County Utility Department between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at 478-987-4280.
