Hart Co. water shortage

Lula is not the only northeast Georgia community where the water supply has dwindled the past few weeks.

Hart County water officials are asking customers affected by a major water outage to stop using water entirely while crews work to restore pressure to the system. The request follows a break in a 12-inch transmission main that caused widespread outages and triggered a boil water advisory, according to Georgia News Network and Now Habersham.

Crews have been working around the clock to remove trapped air, refill storage tanks and restore service.

Meanwhile, Lula officials say things there are improving and promise another update today. EARLIER STORY. POSTED 9:00 A.M. THURSDAY: UPDATE: Lula water system stabilizing
