Boil Water Advisory for customers located within Spence Field Water System served by City of Moultrie

MOULTRIE, Ga. – According to a post on the City of Moultrie’s Government Facebook page,

Please Note: The following Boil Water Advisory is for the yellow outlined area on the attached photo ONLY. The areas include residences and businesses located in and near Spence Field.

Due to a 12-inch water main break, the City of Moultrie was forced to make emergency repairs on the water system. This caused some water customers to lose water supply. As the water main supply is replenished, a potential health hazard may exist in areas that experienced zero pressure. Water of unknown quality from backflow and/or back-siphonage may have entered into the water distribution system.

The City of Moultrie will be flushing the system. However, all citizens that have experienced water outages are advised to boil all water prior to use for drinking, cooking, or preparing baby food. This only pertains to those individuals or businesses affected by the outage. Please refer to the attached map for reference. The water should be boiled for at least one minute after reaching a rolling boil. Citizens should continue to boil their water until the City of Moultrie issues a rescission of this Boil Water Advisory and notification 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.

Thank you for your understanding throughout this emergency repair situation.

If you have any questions, please call the City of Moultrie Utilities at 229-668-6000.
