Repairs to the county’s water system will interrupt service Friday for all Richmond County water customers on Holly Grove Church Road and adjacent roads.

Water will be turned off no earlier than 8 a.m. and will be restored as soon as possible.

Community Service Director B.K. Jones III said every effort would be made to limit the time the water service is interrupted.

The county suggests filling up a bathtub to provide water during the time services are off. In order to prevent the possibility of damage to water heaters, officials recommend turning off the hot water heater circuit breaker until water service has been restored. If the entrance panel uses fuses, simply remove the fuse.
