BALDWIN, Ga. — The city of Baldwin, Georgia, has issued a boil water advisory due to a water main break in the 100 block of Stonepile Street.

Residents may be experiencing low water pressure on Stonepile Stree, Sunrise Ridge, Ridge Circle, and Crumbly Drive.

City officials urge residents to boil water for one full minute once it begins to boil before drinking the water or using it for cooking. Of course, you should allow the water to fully cool before drinking it.

You should either used boiled, then cooled water or bottled water for drinking, brushing teeth, washing and preparing food and baby formula, making ice, and pouring drinking water for pets.
