Authorities in Franklin County have asked the public to conserve as much water as possible because the water supply was low. A notice was posted on Facebook on Tuesday, April 29, requesting that water customers conserve water until June 1 by forgoing lawn watering, pool filling, vehicle washing and other unnecessary uses. Franklin County’s wells were not keeping up with demand.

Due to Franklin County’s water supply issues, the county manager put forth the suggestion of a moratorium on selling water to new customers. Two of the county’s four wells were out of service, and the City of Toccoa has cut the amount of water that it was willing to sell the county.
