MOORESBURG, TN (WJHL)- A boil water advisory is in effect for the Mooresburg community in Hawkins County until Friday, following a major water line rupture that happened Tuesday night.

On Wednesday, Lakeview Utility District General Manager Tim Carwile told News Channel 11 that 300 to 500 gallons of water per minute began leaking out of the water system around 10 p.m. Tuesday, impacting around 700 customers.

Carwile said after evaluating data the flow rate of the water line rupture was recalculated to be around 800 to 900 gallons per minute.

He said the line was on the bottom of the pipe and said water flowed down into a cave.

Crews with the utility district installed valves to narrow down the location of the leak, which was found around 8:15 p.m. Wednesday.

About 30 homes on the Sunchild First Nation are under a boil water advisory after leaks in the main water line caused the community’s reservoirs to drop.

Both ConocoPhillips and Shell, which have operations in the area, have been helping to refill the tanks and provide bottled water while officials work to repair the leaks, she said.
About 160 more homes on the reserve are not affected because they use their own wells and are not tied-in to the main water line.
First Nations water issues Sunchild First Nation was under an earlier boil water advisory in January due to a problem with chlorine levels.
Jen Essex, a teacher in the community, says it happens too often on First Nations reserves.
"If this happened in a town for example, I mean, it wouldn’t happen," said Essex.
"Water just wouldn’t get cut off.
I think people need to know that this happens, a lot more frequently than they’re probably aware of it."
