A boil advisory was issued early Friday after a 12-inch water main break in East Macon.
The perimeter of the boil advisory includes south of Highway 129 (to the northwest) and Joy Cliff Road (to the northeast), and north of Ga. 80 and Jeffersonville Road, according to a news release.
Also included is the area south of Riggins Mill Road and north of Interstate 16/Ga. Those within the impacted areas may experience low pressure or no water service.
Those who are now without any water can expect to have their service restored within one to two days, which means some customers could be without water until Sunday, said Tony Rojas, president and executive director of the Macon Water Authority.
The number of customers without water was not immediately available, with the water authority working on maps that will show those under the boil advisory as well as those without water service, Rojas said.
The industrial park was not impacted, he said.
Water was shut off at the site of the water main break Thursday night, with crews working overtime to restore water service as soon as possible, the release said.
After a 24-hour period of testing and monitoring the water quality, the water authority will conduct a final bacteria test to confirm water in the impacted areas of the system is safe to drink again, the release said.
