COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga. (WJBF) – Officials in Columbia County are warning residents about discolored water.
In a Facebook Post, they said, “We are currently experiencing a high volume of discolored water calls. This issue was caused by a pump failure at our Jim Blanchard Water Treatment Plant. Currently, crews are flushing in several locations around Columbia County to mitigate the discolored water.
Please contact us at 706-863-6928 or email at waterquality@columbiacountyga.gov to help us target your area.
We are working towards a long-term solution to these discolored water events; however, the work cannot be performed until the lower flow periods in the distribution system occur this winter. In the short term, we continue to aggressively flush the problem areas and respond to complaints as promptly as possible.”
