County Water System Says Musky Odor In Water Is Not a Hazard
Fayette County, Georgia, May 6, 2013 – In response to complaints from water customers, Fayette County Water System Director Tony Parrott expressed that concerns regarding a “musky” odor in the water is no reason for alarm. Upon receiving complaints, the Water System immediately dispatched staff to investigate the situation.
It has been determined that the odor is due to a reaction from chlorine and the water from Lake Peachtree. The reaction was caused by a significant change in water temperature.
Water System officials have been working diligently to resolve the situation. They diverted water from the South Fayette Water Plant into the system instead.
Parrott explained that because of the size of the water distribution system in the county, the issue with the odor could remain for a few days until the water is pumped through the system.
“The water is completely safe to drink,” said Parrott.
