Notes for this town

Carl Town Hall is at 1690 Carl-Bethlehem Road, 770-867-1308, open Tuesday through Thursday from 9 to 5 and closed Monday and Friday.
Barrow County's water and wastewater pages list 770-307-6610 for emergencies on weekends and after 4:30 on weekday afternoons. Neither page says whether Carl homes use county water, a well or septic, so the water bill, or Town Hall on an open day, settles it.
Census estimates about 108 homes in Carl, give or take 59, with a median build year of 1974. The sample is small enough that the numbers are a rough guide, and the town's own history page says one square mile and 225 residents.
Carl Town Hall takes its mail at P.O. Box 52, Auburn, GA 30011, so a Carl address and an Auburn mailing address can overlap. Name Carl and the road so the call lands with the right town.
When a pipe lets go or a ceiling drips at a Carl address, call us and give the road and the nearest cross street.

Two other towns on the list

Auburn, whose mail Carl Town Hall uses, has its own page: Auburn's water notes. Mulberry sits in Gwinnett County, and its water notes carry that county's numbers. One contractor takes the calls from all three.

Rain and cold facts

Winder 4S, a NOAA station in Barrow County, logs 59.5 days a year at 32 degrees Fahrenheit or colder in its 1991 to 2020 normals, and January's average low is 32.2. Winter is when an exposed hose bib or a crawl-space line is likeliest to freeze, though University of Georgia researchers note that only the top two inches of ground freeze in most of the state. The station is an area guide, not a Carl reading.
