Jellico residents still without water, boil advisory in place until Monday morning

Water should be restored to residents in the next two to three hours as the three other tanks get filled with water.
General Manager of Jellico Electric and Water System Joe Carroll expects the boil advisory to be lifted on Monday morning.
With the boil advisory in place, customers are advised to bring their water to a boil, then let it cool for at least one minute before drinking.
General Manager Joe Carroll says it’s a slow process but the situation is progressing.
All of the water currently meets state regulations.
The Jellico Electric and Water System says customers are currently without drinkable water and a boil advisory is in place.
Jellico Electric and Water System then issued a boil advisory to customers through TV and radio outlets.
"I’d like to apologize to our customers," Carroll said.
The boil advisory will still be in effect, with hopes of being lifted Monday.
Muncy said the county is hopeful to have the water system itself working in the next six hours.
