As of earlier today, the AJC  reported that a "boil water advisory" remained in effect for a small area of Sandy Springs in Fulton County.  It is anticipated that the advisory will remain in effect until at least tomorrow morning.

The problem that initially caused the advisory to all of Sandy Springs was due to a water-main valve that cut pressure to the main line serving the city of 86,000 people.  That low pressure allows for the possibility for "contaminants into the water supply," said Janet Ward, a spokeswoman for the Atlanta Department of Watershed Management.  "The advisory will be lifted only after lab tests determine that there are no contaminants remaining in the water."

Watershed workers will be visiting homes in Sandy Springs today to ask for water samples, Ward said.

Residents who have not lost water (or got it back) are being asked to conserve that water usage to ease the pressure problems.
