CENTERVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Residents in Centerville are again without water as the city experiences issues with its supply.
Hickman County EMA issued an update Thursday saying the maintenance department is working to fix the issue.
Some residents remain without water while others are being asked to conserve water, including holding off on laundry, flushing the toilet only when necessary and no car washing.
As a result, Jacobs says the town cannot pump water to customers that don’t meet standards.
No contaminated water of any kind is allowed to be delivered to customer’s faucets.
Jacobs says according to the National Weather Service, the city has seen the most rainfall in the month of February since 1890, 120 years.
A boil water notice was sent to residents with the following instructions: Prior to boiling, the water should be strained through a clean cloth to remove any sediment or floating material.
The water should then be heated to a vigorous boil, and the rolling boil should be maintained for one minute to insure disinfection.
Meanwhile, heavy rain is falling in the area and making some roads impassable.
Make sure to check the latest list of road closures before heading out the door.
