AquaAlert™

The early alert system for your water.

Free alerts for your ZIP code or address when your utility issues a public notice or our forecast reaches Level 4 for your water system. And a direct line to tell us what you're seeing at the tap.

In a medical emergency, always call 911.

How it works

  1. 1

    We watch for you.

    Every two hours we check public notices, local news and the 7-day weather forecast for your water system.

  2. 2

    A person approves every alert.

    Each alert says what happened, links the source and explains what it can change in water, with the science cited. Utility notices pass through in their own words.

  3. 3

    You act.

    Every alert ends with three asks: test your water, host a community conversation about it, or start a Guardians of H2O™ chapter at your school or in your community.

What we alert you to

Alerts report public events and what they can change. They're never a verdict on your tap or on your utility.

For cities

See what residents see, by neighborhood.

AquaAlert™ gives cities organized, located resident reports instead of scattered calls and posts, so patterns in an area show up early.

For sponsors

Adopt a City.

Sponsors can switch AquaAlert™ on for an entire city, and put their name behind the line residents use when something changes with their water.

Questions

No. In a medical emergency, call 911. For a possible poisoning, call Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222. AquaAlert™ doesn't replace emergency services or your utility's official notices. Officials declare emergencies. We alert you so you can act.

No. An alert reports a public notice or a forecast near you and what it can change in water, with sources. It's never a finding about your tap. A test shows what's actually in your water.

A person reviews and approves every alert before it goes out. The one exception: when your utility itself issues a boil-water, do-not-drink or lifted notice, we pass it on right away in their words.

By email, once you confirm. Text alerts are coming soon: check the box and we'll ask you to reply YES before the first one. Reply STOP anytime.

AquaAlert™ is on across Georgia. Sign up with your ZIP code, and add an address if you want alerts for that spot.

It goes to our team only. It isn't posted publicly, and we don't share your email. Reports are kept with their ZIP code and time so patterns in an area show up early.

So what's in your water?
