CAMDEN, Tenn. (WTVF) — Camden residents can use their water like normal after a multi-vehicle accident caused chaos in the Benton County water system.
Water superintendent John Beasley said no one has to boil their water from the City of Camden Water Department.
"Our water quality laboratory has reported that water samples collected yesterday are negative for bacteriological contamination," Beasley said. The water storage tanks in our water system are at normal operating levels and producing good water pressure in the distribution system."
Some customers may still experience some air in their plumbing. This will dissipate after flushing their water lines, Beasley said.
"We thank everyone for their patience and understanding, as our crews have worked around the clock this week to restore water service and ensure water quality for our valued customers," Beasley said.

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.
Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.
Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
