"Due to all the rain and washout of Cantrell Road at Flowery Branch Creek there is a water boil order in effect until 9 a.m. on June 2, 2018,” Flowery Branch police said on Facebook.
Residents in the Carriage Crossing, Waterstone Crossing and Clarkstone Village neighborhoods were included in the boil advisory due to low water pressure in the area.
“Staff is working hard to have the water pressure restored to normal flows as soon as possible,” officials said.

The Army Corps expects to release water continuously from the lake at Buford Dam over the next two weeks.
