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.
Fostering Hope provides Christmas for kids in foster care. I'm delighted to see Fostering Hope expand this year to expand their reach to now include kids in Foster care in metro AND foster kids in East TN hard hit by Helene.
