MONROE COUNTY, Ga. — Both Monroe and Butts Counties are experiencing significant water shortage as a result of frigid weekend temperatures according to a post on the Monroe County Board of Commissioners Facebook page.
On Christmas say Butts County Water Officials discovered a water main break in the system. However, later in the day, they found the break was not the cause of the continued water shortage in the county.
“Due to service line breaks related to frigid temperatures, Butts County Residents may experience a loss in water pressure and discolored water throughout the county. Our crew is working to have these issues resolved as soon as possible," Butts County Water and Sewer Authority said.
They are urging people in the North Monroe County water system to conserve water until the situation is resolved and will continue to release updates.
This water shortage does not impact Monroe County’s south water system, which is serviced by Macon Water Authority, so south system users can continue to consume water at the same rate as normal.
