The city of Athens issued a boil advisory for Montrose Avenue and Ondis Avenue, near Busy Day Market, at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, citing a drop in pressure in the water distribution system.
The exact reason for the pressure decrease is unknown, though it may arise from a water main break, flooding, structure fires and more, according to the advisory.
The advisory does not mean the water is confirmed to be contaminated or unsafe, and it is being used as a cautionary measure. Despite the uncertainty, the advisory recommends residents boil their water until 2 p.m. on Wednesday.
