Due to a main line break on Gray Mare Hollow Road, all residents on Gray Mare Hollow Road, from St. Marks Church to Silver Bluff Road and those living on Storm Branch Road within the Talatha Rural Community Water District (TRC Water District) area were urged to vigorously boil all water used for cooking and drinking for at least three (3) minutes, on June 15th. That advisory has now been repealed.

The New Ellenton Commission of Public Works (CPW) has issued a boil water advisory for the Cedar Creek subdivision, in Aiken County, for the next 48 hours, or until further notice. Officials say the advisory comes after a main water line break in the Cedar Creek subdivision.

Harder times mean more aggressive panhandlers in Augusta. Richmond County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Scott Gay says with more people out of jobs, there are more panhandlers downtown, and they aren’t taking no for an answer.
