Over the weekend, the White County Water Authority set up  a place just outside the fence at the gate to the Authority’s Treatment Plant for anyone who needs water for use other than drinking.

Water Authority Director Edwin Nix said the water can be used for washing, flushing or anything but drinking, it would need to be boiled before drinking. He said a hose that is marked for this purpose is available 24-hours a day until everyone’s power is restored.

The White County Water Authority  is located just south of White County High School on Highway 129 North of Cleveland.
