Low-Pressure Notice – Windward Point Dr – Saturday, December 23, 2023

LOW – PRESSURE WARNING

The Saint Simons Island water system may potentially lose pressure on the system serving Windward Point Dr. and surrounding streets in the Sea Palms area on Saturday morning, December 23, 2023, due to a broken water main. As of 9:15 AM no Boil-Water Advisory has been issued. Our Water Distribution crews are in the process of making the necessary repairs.

This loss of pressure in the distribution system may cause back-pressure, back-siphonage, or a net movement of water from outside the pipe to the inside through cracks, breaks, or joints in the distribution system that are common in all water systems. Such a system failure carries with it a potential that bacterial contamination or other disease-causing organisms could enter the water distribution system. These conditions may pose an imminent and substantial health endangerment to persons served by the water system.

This precautionary boil water advisory warning is being published to those who live in, work in, or travel through the affected area. The map below indicates the limit to which this precautionary boil water advisory may apply:
