Boil advisory issued for city residents
The City of Marietta has issued a boil water advisory due to a water line break.
Approximately 60 customers are affected in the areas of Timberline Drive, Country Meadows Drive, Windy Point Drive, Locust Lane, Belle Meadows Drive, Sassafras Trail, Grant Edwards Drive and Sherry Drive.
Customers who may have experienced a loss of water service or pressure are advised to rapid boil drinking water or water used in food preparation for two minutes following restoration of water service. The announcement says customers should flush their service lines using cold water lines only until the water is clear. Brown or cloudy water due to mineral deposits or air are normal discolorations after an interruption in service.
The advisory will remain in effect until customers are notified of its cancellation through local media, the city’s website and Facebook page, and the Washington County Emergency Alert System.
