FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Two precautionary boil water advisories have been issued in Forsyth County following water main leaks that caused outages on Thursday.

The Forsyth County Department of Water & Sewer reported that the leaks led to low or no water pressure in areas near the intersection of Keith Bridge Road and Grindle Road, as well as along Old Atlanta Road near Chattahoochee Pointe Park.

Water service is currently being restored in the affected areas, but residents are advised to boil water for at least one minute before using it for drinking, cooking, or preparing baby food.
