PULASKI, Tenn. (WTVF) — Two different Tennessee towns have struggled with water after line breaks with temperatures still below freezing.
Both were having to hand out water to customers in Tennessee Ridge and Pulaski.
Residents from both Giles and Houston Counties have voiced concerns to NewsChannel 5 about this issue.
Here's what residents can do.
GILES COUNTY
Authorities had a positive update late Friday afternoon.
The area had a six-inch water main break in north Pulaski, but it has been fixed.
"As of right now, all water leaks in the city have been repaired. Tanks will start filling back up slowly. Thank you again for your continued patience and support," water officials said.
HOUSTON COUNTY
The city of Tennessee Ridge is now under a boil advisory for customers using the water out of their taps.
Tennessee Ridge City Hall is handing out vouchers for cases of potable water. The vouchers can be used at the Erin Piggly Wiggly or Sav A Lot.
The resident can contact city hall for more information as the supply is a very fluid situation, officials said.
Erin Church of Christ is also doing a water distribution. Delivery is expected tomorrow but road conditions may delay that further.
My friend and colleague Carrie Sharp had a lot of fun last week, on an adventure to a country more than three thousand miles away! She’s back now – sharing her Adventures in Iceland through stories, and incredible images of this remarkably beautiful and unique island nation (kudos to Chief Photographer Catherine Steward)! But did you know Nashville has something very important in common with Iceland? Tourism! Here, Carrie explains how a volcanic eruption decades ago helped save the country’s economy from collapse!
