CRAFORD COUNTY, Ga. (WGXA) — Residents in the area of Moncrief Road and Highway 128 have been without water since the weekend due to what Crawford County Water Superintendent Bill Patton calls an "ongoing issue" that they have been fighting.
"20 years ago, they put the water line in at the base of the creek. With erosion, the pipe's not three, four feet above the bottom of the creek, so we get five inches of rain, it just washes away, we put it back," said Patton. "We've got a plan in place, now, to just completely replace it with newer technology." He explained that the new pipe will be five or six feet below the creek bed permanently.
In the meantime, mobile water tanks, also known as water buffalos, are available for residents to have access to non-potable water to use for cleaning, flushing toilets, and so forth.

Patton says that his hopes are that the water will be back up and running by Tuesday afternoon.

There will likely be a boil advisory put into place until samples can be tested for quality and results are expected by the end of the week.

Converged Identity Platforms consolidate features found in other technologies - SC Media

(Adobe Stock) The lifecycle of technology innovation and adoption is circular. Point solutions and technologies are developed to solve a specific problem. Over time, these point solutions evolve, blend, and merge to help solve a larger overarching challenge. Identity security is currently going through the blending cycle as security leaders recognize the need to combine capabilities such as identity governance, privileged access, and application governance to reduce threat landscapes and simplify competing demands for better security, authentication, and access. As they have, converged identity platforms (CIPs) have been introduced to help organizations better manage their identity security programs. In fact, by next year, 70% of new access management, governance, administration, and privileged access deployments will be converged platforms, Gartner  reports .  Historically, many technology vendors have built out product suites to address a single overarching challenge. In this case, i...
