Boil Water Advisory Issued for Impacted Savannah Water Customers

SAVANNAH – Effective immediately, the City of Savannah has issued a precautionary boil water advisory for customers located on Bee Road (north of 52nd Street), and more specifically, east of Bee Road inclusive of East 51st Street to Grenoble Street to East 50th Street, following failure of a City water main under Bee Road in the notified area.

The affected area is shown in the shaded map below.

City crews will be on site throughout the day completing the watermain repairs. Once repairs are complete, crews will conduct system flushing in the affected area and collect water samples for laboratory testing. The testing program will begin promptly upon completion of flushing to minimize the boil water advisory window. Water service for affected homes is expected to be restored approximately 24 hours after confirmation testing is complete which should be no later than Sunday evening, July 19, 2026.

As a precaution, customers located in the affected area are advised to boil all water used for drinking, cooking, brushing teeth, and preparing baby formula until the advisory is lifted. Water should be brought to a rolling boil for at least one minute before use. Customers located in the affected area should continue to boil their water prior to use until notified by public health officials or the City of Savannah that the system has been fully restored and the water is safe to consume and utilize. At which time, they are advised to flush for at least 5 – 10 minutes or until water runs clear.

How to Properly Boil Water:

• Fill a pot with water
• Heat water until bubbles rise from the bottom of the pot to the top
• Once water reaches rolling boil, allow it to boil for at least one minute
• Turn off heat, allow water to cool
• Store cooled water in clean, covered container
