UPDATE | Boil Water Advisory lifted for North Fulton neighborhood
FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - The boil water advisory for a portion of Milton in North Fulton has been lifted. Crews have completed repairs and service has been fully restored, according to Fulton County.
ORIGINAL STORY
Fulton County Public Works crews say water was temporarily restored after a 24-inch water main broke Monday evening at the intersection of Morris Road and Lathene Drive in Milton. The break, which officials say was caused by a contractor, led to water outages in the area and prompted a boil water advisory for nearby residents.
What we know:
Water service was restored Tuesday evening, but final repairs are still needed to be completed, according to Fulton County officials.
The boil water advisory covers a limited area, approximately a quarter-mile radius surrounding the break. It includes properties along Morris Road from south of Lathene Drive to Deerfield Avenue, and north of Lathene Drive to Flamingo Road. Residents can check a county-provided map to see if they are within the impacted zone.

What you can do:
During the advisory, residents should boil tap water before using it for:
- Drinking
- Cooking or preparing food
- Brushing teeth
- Making ice
- Mixing baby formula
- Providing drinking water for pets
To boil water safely, bring it to a rolling boil for at least one minute, then allow it to cool before use.
What they're saying:
Fulton County has already started water quality testing in the affected area and will lift the advisory only after confirming that there is no longer a public health concern. Once lifted, residents should flush all faucets for at least two minutes before using water for drinking or food preparation.
For updates or more information, residents can call Fulton County at 404-664-5278.
What's next:
Crews will turn off the water on Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. so they can finalize the repairs, a spokesperson said.
