Boil Water Advisory East Fulton

 

Boil water advisory for East Fulton in in effect until further notice. This would include all residents East of Martin Luther King Jr Drive.

During a boil water advisory, it is recommended that customers boil for three minutes any tap water they intend to use for consumption, such as for drinking, cooking or making ice. After boiling water, customers should let the water cool before consuming it.


Fire Hydrant Flushing Notice

The annual or semi annual flushing of water mains, via fire hydrants, is a standard practice in the water industry.  Pipe flushing is done to improve water quality at the tap, exercise hydrants, remove pipe tuberculation (a buildup common in iron pipes that can reduce its ability to transmit water) and remove naturally occurring sediment that can accumulate in the lines. The hydrant flushing will be conducted by our City Public Works Personnel weekly from 7 am – 3 pm through the end of December and they will be in clearly marked Department of Public Works vehicle.

The flushing process often disturbs the minerals and sediment in the water mains causing them to dissolve and temporarily discolor the water delivered to homes and businesses.  Although, the water is perfectly safe we recommend running the cold water for several minutes to help clear the discoloration before using it for drinking or laundry.  Please check your washing machines before using them as you may experience discolored clothing due to hydrant flushing.

Thank you in advance for your patience.

Watch for Fake Solar Eclipse Glasses

Fake Solar Eclipse Glasses: Your Community May Be at Risk
Current Issues and Events | Aug. 14, 2017
people watching a solar eclipse with glasses

Millions of Americans will watch the Aug. 21 solar eclipse and have already purchased (or will) eclipse glasses or handheld solar viewers to do so. Some of these people may be at risk from counterfeit glasses and viewers sold by disreputable vendors trying to cash in on this rare event. Watching the eclipse with fake protective gear can cause permanent eye damage, making this a community risk reduction issue.

Only glasses and viewers verified by an accredited testing laboratory to meet ISO 12312-2 are safe to use when viewing the eclipse. This standard requires glasses and viewers to be thousands of times darker than typical sunglasses.

It may be hard to tell the difference between genuine protective gear and fake glasses/viewers as some counterfeit makers are placing ISO labels on them. The American Astronomical Society (AAS) has guidance to help eclipse watchers determine if their eclipse glasses or handheld solar viewers are safe. In addition, NASA recommends that eclipse watchers refer to the AAS’s website for a list of reputable vendors selling solar glasses and viewers.
