CRAFORD COUNTY, Ga. (WGXA) — Residents in the area of Moncrief Road and Highway 128 have been without water since the weekend due to what Crawford County Water Superintendent Bill Patton calls an "ongoing issue" that they have been fighting.
"20 years ago, they put the water line in at the base of the creek. With erosion, the pipe's not three, four feet above the bottom of the creek, so we get five inches of rain, it just washes away, we put it back," said Patton. "We've got a plan in place, now, to just completely replace it with newer technology." He explained that the new pipe will be five or six feet below the creek bed permanently.
In the meantime, mobile water tanks, also known as water buffalos, are available for residents to have access to non-potable water to use for cleaning, flushing toilets, and so forth.

Patton says that his hopes are that the water will be back up and running by Tuesday afternoon.

There will likely be a boil advisory put into place until samples can be tested for quality and results are expected by the end of the week.
