Boil water advisory for Oconee County

Oconee County has issued a boil water advisory for all customers served by Oconee County Water Resources

In order to protect the public from a potential health hazard, customers that have experienced water outages and/or low water pressures are advised to use only boiled tap water or bottled water for drinking, cooking, or preparing food. To properly boil tap water for use, customers should:

?? Heat water until bubbles come quickly from the bottom of the container;

?? Continue heating the water for one minute once it begins to boil;

?? Remove the water from the heat source and allow to cool before use.
