Boil Water Advisory Lifted in Canton (UPDATE)

UPDATE: the boil water advisory issued Wednesday, Jan. 11 has been lifted, the city said Thursday.

CANTON, GA -- The city of Canton has issued a boil water advisory for a large segment of the area.

The area includes from Reinhardt College and Riverstone parkways, west to Cherokee High School and runs north to Puckett Creek Road, east to Waleska Road/S.R. 140, north to Pea Ridge Road, east to Reservoir Drive and then south back to Reinhardt College Parkway.

All water used for drinking, cooking or preparing baby food should be boiled for at least one minute. Residents should continue to boil water until they are notified that the water system has been restored ot normal.

The advisory stems from a broken line at the city's Water Plant, which has also resulted in low water pressure across the city.

Once service is restored, citizens should note the advisory will be in effect until further notice. Additional information can be found online.

Any questions or concerns can be addressed by the Canton Engineering Department at 770-704-1517. Return to Patch for updates.
