Residents who selected the settlement water benefit connected to the Summerville drinking water lawsuit are being reminded that a critical deadline is approaching. Claimants must call Fontis Water at (678) 494-1981 to schedule a delivery appointment by January 31, 2026. Officials say anyone who fails to schedule by that date will forfeit the water benefit.
