The people of Milledgeville can once again drink their tap water.

After water sample testing showed the water supply is safe, the city lifted the boil water advisory Tuesday night, according to a news release from City Manager Barry Jarrett.

Businesses must consult the Baldwin County Health Department before reopening.

A weekend water main break left some areas without water and low pressure in other parts of town, so everyone was ordered to boil water for a minute before drinking or cooking with it.
