“We want to continue to meet the needs of the community by giving them bottled water until this crisis is over,” said Kim Murdough, with West Court Street Church of God.
Murdough is not happy about the state closing water distribution sites across the city.
She said while she doesn’t agree with the state’s decision, her church is stepping up to make sure everyone has safe water after the state steps out.
We already distributed food to the community.
This is an ongoing thing we will do,” Murdough said.
Murdough and church members said they can’t do it alone and are now accepting donations to make sure there is enough water to keep going.
Because it hasn’t been fully resolved.
Because our neighbors come first,” Murdough said.
She is confident enough people will support the effort until all of the lead service lines are replaced in the city.
However long that takes.
