On Friday April 28, normal campus operations will resume for students, faculty and staff.   

Although we are seeing improvements to the water pressure across campus, the City of Milledgeville is continuing to work on repairs to its water system and issued a boil water advisory notice earlier today. While the boil water advisory is in effect, we encourage everyone to be familiar with CDC Boil Water Advisory guidelines. 

Georgia College continues to stay in close contact with the City of Milledgeville. The city’s water officials are testing water samples to ensure the safety of the water supply before ending the boil water advisory, so we do not know how long it will be in effect. (In the past, the city’s boil water advisories have lasted from 24 hours up to 72 hours.) Also, water conservation measures will remain in effect for today (Thursday) although we anticipate that they will be withdrawn when the city completes its portable pump installation.  We will notify the campus community as soon as we learn more. 

Bottled water is available for students who reside in on-campus housing at The MAX dining hall and on GCSU buses.  Please make sure to have your Bobcat Card ready when picking up water.  

Students who reside in off-campus housing are encouraged to take advantage of the water distribution site organized by the City of Milledgeville at the Baldwin County Government Annex building not far from campus. We also encourage faculty and staff to bring bottled water to work tomorrow.  

Due to the boil water advisory currently in effect, some of our dining operations need to be modified as follows: 

• The MAX will remain open regular operating hours with a limited menu.  
• Chick-fil-A and AFC Sushi will remain open during regular operating hours. 
• The West Campus convenience store will remain open until midnight, but the Pizza Hut will not be able to serve pizza.
• All other retail dining locations will be closed until further notice. 

As water pressure is restored across campus, please notify our Facilities Department at 478-445-4279 between 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. or contact your CA or Public Safety after business hours if you notice anything unusual related to our water infrastructure.
