Boil water advisory issued for College Park, East Point

Officials in East Point and College Park have issued a boil water advisory. A broken water main caused water pressures to drop to dangerously low levels.

That water main break happened in the 1900 block of Headland Drive near Norman Berry Drive. The leak was fixed late Tuesday night, but the notice will continue.

To protect the public from a potential health hazard, officials advise those experiencing water outages or low water pressure to boil water used for drinking and cooking for at least one minute.

East Point and College Park residents should use this method until they are notified by their drinking water utility that the water is safe for consumption.
