Douglas County Emergency Management will distribute bottled water on Wednesday to residents of Douglas County who are without treated water.

Two distribution centers will open at 9:00 a.m.:
Douglasville First United Methodist Church, 6167 Prestley Mill Road at Hospital Drive – enter from Hospital Drive;
Prays Mill Baptist Church, 4979 Georgia Highway 5 at Banks Mill Road – enter from Banks Mill Road.

These will be “drive-through” centers, and cases of bottled water will be placed in the resident’s car. The distribution centers will be open from 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. or until supplies are exhausted.

The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Villa Rica has donated some of the bottled water. This distribution is open to Douglas County residents only. A boiled water advisory is still in effect in Douglas County until further
