Residents of two Braselton neighborhoods are asked not to drink their water without boiling it.
The city’s water system lost pressure in the Friendship Road area, creating the potential for fecal contamination.
Clearwater and Reflections neighborhoods are affected.
“These conditions may pose an imminent and substantial health endangerment to persons served by the water system in these two neighborhoods,” according to a news release from Braselton.
Consuming water contaminated with disease-causing organisms can lead to symptoms including diarrhea, cramps, nausea and headaches.
Residents in these neighborhoods should bring their water to a rolling boil for three minutes before using it to wash dishes, make ice, brush teeth, prepare food or drink.
Residents can use the water to bathe or flush toilets.
Water department employees are working to repair the line and will evaluate water samples for 24 hours after the line is fixed.
