The weather record

64.8nights at or below 32 °F

Whitesburg's pages carry no weather record, so these numbers come from the Carrollton station, about 12 miles away by road. That station averages 53.48 inches of rain a year, 64.8 nights at or below 32 °F and 16.3 days a year when the rain gauge reaches an inch. Conditions at one address can differ.

Where Whitesburg sits

Whitesburg lies along the Chattahoochee River in southeastern Carroll County. Wikipedia puts Carrollton about 12 miles northwest by U.S. 27 Alternate, and Acorn Creek, a Chattahoochee tributary, starts just west of town. The business address is 907 S Park St in Carrollton.

Carrollton and Villa Rica have their own pages: Carrollton town page and Villa Rica town page. All three towns reach the same phone line.

Questions, answered briefly

Who handles the water bill and the water lines in Whitesburg?

The water department works from City Hall at 60 Booster Field Drive and shares the 770-834-0848 number. The town's site links a water application and a billing schedule, but it lists no emergency or after-hours line.

Does the river change what to do about floodwater?

The town lies along the Chattahoochee. The National Weather Service says six inches of fast-moving floodwater can knock over an adult and that walking or driving into it is never safe. If water is moving outside the door and anyone is in danger, dial 911.

Who can call from Whitesburg?

Owners, landlords and property managers can call (678) 270-2458 and describe the damage. Tenants are better off telling the landlord first: in the Census estimate, 81 of Whitesburg's 228 occupied homes are rented, with a wide margin of 49.
