The City of Milledgeville has issued an Emergency Water Conversation Advisory for all city water customers, including Georgia College & State University’s main and west campuses.
A motor failure in a high service pump at the City’s Water Treatment facility has created the possibility that the city’s water system could lose pressure, causing water outages and forcing a water boil advisory.
A power outage has been reported in multiple buildings across the Georgia College & State University campus in downtown Milledgeville. The power outage is the result of a cell of severe thunderstorms on the morning of Sunday, March 26, 2023.
As of 10:30 a.m., Sunday, Georgia Power is assessing the situation and has not communicated an estimated time when service will be restored.

Please read below an important message from Chancellor Perdue to university presidents concerning the use of TikTok, Telegram and WeChat:
Dear Presidents,
Following Governor Kemp’s recent directive prohibiting the use of TikTok on Georgia-owned systems and devices, I would like to share more about how the University System of Georgia plans to move forward. We share the Governor’s concerns and understand similar concerns have caused several states to implement mandates blocking TikTok and its use from public devices and public networks.
Dear Campus Community:
We wanted to make you aware that two apparent false reports of an active shooter were phoned into the Milledgeville Police Department this morning, first reporting one at Baldwin High School and the second reporting one at a Bellvue or Bell Hall.
Milledgeville and Georgia College Police responded immediately and cleared the building at Bell Hall on our campus and found no shooter nor any other threat, but because armed officers were required to come on campus in a state of alert, we wanted to make you aware of what had happened.
For our iPhone and iPad users:
