GIBSON COUNTY, Tenn. \u2013 The Gibson County Municipal Water District has issued a Boil Water Notice for the Concord and Idlewild areas.<\/p>\n
The district said the issue is caused by low water pressure as a result of broken water lines in the system.<\/p>\n
Concord is the rural area east of Trenton and the Idlewild area is the rural area outside the Bradford city limits.<\/p>\n
The city of Bradford is NOT included in the notice.<\/p>\n
The department said there is no indication that contamination has occurred, but the notice is a precaution.<\/p>\n
The Boil Water Notice remains in effect until further notice. Before drinking or cooking with water, residents are urged to boil the water first.<\/p>\n
Residents should also take the following steps before using the water:<\/p>\n
1.) Prior to boiling, the water should be strained through a clean cloth to remove any sediments or debris.<\/p>\n
2.) The water should then be heated to a vigorous boil and the rolling boil should be maintained for at least one minute to ensure disinfection.<\/p>\n
