A town south of Atlanta has advised its residents not to drink their tap water after a fuel spill at Atlanta’s airport may have contaminated the Flint River. Griffin's water system serves more than 20,000 customers. City officials say water might not be safe to drink even if boiled and are asking people to use bottled water instead for drinking, cooking or brushing teeth. A spokesperson for the airport says cleanup is underway. She couldn’t say how much fuel escaped Friday or why. Griffin officials say they shut down water intakes from the Flint as a precaution, even though they didn’t believe contaminated water reached the city.
