Atlanta, GA, August 4, 2026 —
Conyers, GA – A boil water advisory has been issued for residents of Rockdale County living north of Interstate 20. The advisory was put in place following a significant water main break that occurred near the intersection of Sigman Road and Rockbridge Road in Conyers.
The break has disrupted normal water service for a portion of the county, necessitating the precautionary measure. Officials are advising all customers in the affected area to boil their water before consumption. This includes water used for drinking, cooking, washing dishes, and brushing teeth.
Residents should bring water to a rolling boil for at least one minute and then allow it to cool before use. As an alternative, bottled water may be used.
The exact cause of the water main break has not been publicly detailed. Repair crews are reportedly on-site working to address the issue and restore normal water service to the affected areas. Information regarding the timeline for repairs and the lifting of the boil water advisory has not yet been provided.
Further updates will be issued by Rockdale County officials as more information becomes available regarding the repair status and when the water will be safe for normal use without boiling.
