*IMPORTANT** Discolored Water in Lakeland

We have had numerous reports of discolored/brown water this (Thursday, August 16) morning. The water is safe to drink but may have a metallic taste.

This is due to a problem with a pumping station that serves Lakeland, Arlington, Cordova and County residents.

MLGW has advised residents (including all Lakeland residents) to take the following precautions:

-Avoid using water if at all possible. The repairs are creating low water pressure problems.

-DO NOT WASH CLOTHES ETC!! The water may stain clothes etc. If they are discolored, leave them wet if possible.

MLGW is working on resolving the problem as soon as possible.
