Boil Water Advisory Updated For Parts Of Paulding County

DALLAS, GA — A Boil Water Advisory by Paulding County Water System remains in effect Wednesday evening for the Union and Yorkville areas of western Paulding County. The advisory started Tuesday, Dec. 12, when a pump station repair began at 2 p.m. As pressure is restored customers are asked to conserve water until service resumes.

Customers should boil all water prior to use for drinking, cooking, or preparing baby food, the water system advises. The water should be boiled for at least one minute after reaching a rolling boil.

Residents should continue to boil their water until they are notified that the water system has been restored to full operation, and that the microbiological quality of the water in the distribution system is safe for human consumption.

The Paulding County Water System is working to restore pressure in the affected areas, and will sample those areas to affirm that there is no contamination. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division will advise Paulding County when the advisory can be lifted.

Contact Paulding County Water System at 770-445-2761 with questions.
