The City of Cookeville’s Water Quality Control Director, Ronnie J. Kelly, issued a report this morning noting that citizens may be experiencing discolored water in their water supply (including water utility districts supplied by the City of Cookeville).
“On Tuesday, April 24th, a contractor working on relocating the 30-inch water line at the 5th Interchange had an 8-inch valve separate from the 30-inch water line. This caused a significant increase in velocity in this large water line. As a result, sediment was disturbed along the pipe walls causing a slight tint to the water in certain parts of the system.
This is a very temporary situation and we regret any inconvenience that this may cause our customers. We are taking steps to minimize the disturbance and discoloration to the water system. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to call our office at 520-5239 between the hours of 7:00 A.M. and 4:30 P.M.”
