"Boil Water Advisory Lifted for South Cobb County After Major Water Main Break"

The Boil Water Advisory issued for portions of south Cobb County, including Powder Springs, Austell, Mableton, and sections of Marietta and Smyrna, has been lifted after comprehensive water quality testing confirmed that the tap water meets all regulatory standards and is safe for human consumption. Customers affected may experience low pressure and/or discolored water, and are advised to flush their lines. The advisory was prompted by a 36-inch water main break owned by the Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority, but test results have returned negative for bacteria, indicating the water is now safe to consume.
