The City of Cookeville Department of Water Quality Control is still requesting all customers on the Cookeville water system to voluntarily reduce water usage. This includes customers of the cities of Algood, Baxter, and Cookeville in addition to the Bangham Utility District, Cookeville Boat Dock Road Utility District, Double Springs Utility District, and Gainesboro Grade Utility District. We are still experiencing extremely high-water usage. We are repairing all water leaks as we discover them, and we are working diligently to find additional leaks. We are also discovering leaks on the customer side of the water meter. We encourage all customers to check their lines for leaks, including lines to and in barns, garages, outbuildings and we ask that customers repair their leaks as quickly as possible. Today will be the highest volume of water that we have treated and pumped from our water plant, and we are producing all that our plant is capable of treating. Please let us know if you see a suspected water leak.
If you have any questions concerning this reduction in usage or need to report a water leak, please contact the Department at 520-5227 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. For after hours emergencies, please call the Cookeville Police Department at 526-2125 and they will contact on-call personnel. We regret any inconvenience this may cause our customers and appreciate your assistance and patience.
