MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - Memphis Light Gas and Water issued a boil water advisory for the city of Memphis Thursday.
Due to recent water main breaks and freezing temperatures, MLGW customers are expected to conserve and boil water until Monday afternoon.
“We’re not keeping up. I can tell you that right now,” said Alonzo Weaver, MLGW Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
MLGW had asked customers to start conserving water on Wednesday. While the efforts have helped, they haven’t been enough.
