WEST POINT, GA (WTVM) – The City of West Point has issued a boil water advisory following a major water main break.
According to a West Point official, at 5:30 a.m. on Thursday a water operator noticed more water was being consumed than he could keep up with, and utility crews discovered a leak and opened the hole.
Currently, 80 to 85 percent of water customers in West Point have low water pressure or no water at all.
“The City apologizes for any inconvenience during this time and repairs are in progress,” the City of West Point stated in a Facebook post.
The city is urging residents to boil water for three to five minutes and allow it to cool before consuming it.
