HENRY COUNTY, Ga. - The Henry County Water Authority has issued a boil water advisory for customers in parts of southeast Henry County because of operational issues at the Tussahaw Water Treatment Facility.
What we know:
Until the advisory is lifted, residents in the affected areas should boil tap water for at least one minute before using it for drinking, cooking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing fruits and vegetables, or preparing infant formula. Bottled water may also be used for those purposes.
Officials said tap water remains safe for bathing, showering and doing laundry.
The Henry County Water Authority is working to resolve the issue and says it will provide updates once the advisory has been lifted.
