Welcome to the City of Blakely!
Georgia Environmental Protection Division Declares Drought Response Level 1
Georgia EPD declared a statewide Drought Response Level 1 on April 27, 2026, affecting all public water systems that use surface water or groundwater.
Outdoor watering remains allowed, but only between 10 AM and 4 PM — use outside those hours is restricted. Water systems cannot impose rules stricter than state requirements without first obtaining a variance from EPD.
Residents can help by watering lawns and gardens during early morning or late evening hours, skipping irrigation during rainfall, fixing leaks and dripping faucets promptly, using water-efficient methods when washing vehicles or equipment, and reducing non-essential water use where possible. Maintaining adequate supply for public safety and fire protection depends in part on conservation at the household level.
The City is monitoring conditions and will issue updates if the drought worsens or additional restrictions become necessary.
