BOIL WATER NOTICE
The City of Savannah has issued a boil water advisory for specific water customers in the Savannah city limits, areas of Unincorporated Chatham County, areas of Effingham County, Pooler, Port Wentworth, Bloomingdale, Thunderbolt, Vernonburg, and Prosperity Drive in Garden City effective immediately due to elevated turbidity in the water supply. The affected areas are indicated in the attached map.
This precaution is due to a turbidity (cloudiness) issue in the water. The cause has been identified and corrected.
The notice will be lifted as soon as results confirm the water is safe to drink.
To properly boil water:
- Fill a pot with water.
- Heat the water until bubbles come from the bottom of the pot to the top.
- Once the water reaches a rolling boil, let it boil for at least 1 minute.
- Turn off the heat source and let the water cool.
- Pour the water into a clean container with a cover for storage.
The City of Pooler will be flushing its system and conducting tests to ensure water safety.
We will provide updates as soon as more information is available.
