UPDATE: This has become an official BOIL WATER ADVISORY for Southeast Henry. The increase in natural organic materials in our filtration system slowed down our production process. This caused water pressure to temporarily drop below the minimum requirement. To comply with safety regulations, we must issue this advisory. Please see our latest post or click the link below for safety instructions.

Due to the recent period of high temperatures, increased levels of naturally occurring organic matter have developed in the drinking water reservoir. While this organic material is harmless, it can react during the water treatment process and cause the water to appear slightly yellow or tea-colored.
Although the change in color may be noticeable, the water remains safe to drink and continues to meet all applicable drinking water quality standards.
We appreciate your patience as seasonal conditions affect the source water. Our team continues to closely monitor water quality and optimize the treatment process to minimize impacts. If you have any questions, please call 770-957-6659. For information about discolored water please visit our website at
