This includes for drinking, cooking, preparing baby food or brushing teeth. Bottled water is available for those affected at the following locations: Fire Station 27 – 4260 Northside NW, Atlanta, GA 30327 Fire Station 23 – 1545 Howell Mill Rd., NW, Atlanta, GA 30318 The water should be boiled for one minute past a rolling boil. The Atlanta Department of Water Management has other tips on how to deal with a boil water advisory. The elderly and those with immune deficiencies should be particularly cautious. Parents should also be particularly cautious when using water for their infants. Do not drink water from public water fountains in the impacted area. The city's water officials said vigorous hand washing or showers with soap and tap water should be safe. But water that has been boiled and cooled should be used if washing hands to prepare food. The public should exercise these water precautions until officials lift the boil water advisory. Those who experienced a loss of water service at their address should boil their water before using even if they are outside the area described.
