Water Restored to Some Coffee City Residents

COFFEE CITY � Some residents breath a sigh of relief as others wait patiently for water services to be restored. According to KETK, water has been restored to most of the houses that were without water for most of Sunday evening and early Monday morning. Authorities say that they were able to localize the leak around midnight, but it was too dark and hazardous to correct the damage, due to the fact that it was in a creek bed. Crews were forced to shut off water to about 100 houses until it was safe enough to repair the leak. Officials are working on the leak now, and water has already been restored to most of the houses. Only 14 remain without water at this time. Authorities aren�t sure what caused the leak, but they now have the water outages isolated just to County Road 4218 (or Stevenson Rd).
