City lifts boil water advisory for customers impacted by Feb. 13 leak

SAVANNAH (Feb. 15) --  As of 10 a.m. today, the City of Savannah lifted the precautionary boil water advisory for customers in the areas of Chatham County and Effingham County impacted by the February 13 main line leak. 

The drop in water pressure caused by the leak led the City to issue the advisory until water service was fully restored and then thoroughly tested for safety. City staff collected bacteriological samples throughout the affected areas and all samples have tested negative for Coliform bacteria, indicating the water is safe to drink. 

All customers can resume normal water usage.
