Deep freeze causing water issues in multiple areas in west, central Alabama alwx
The Marbury Water System said its water levels have been low due to “customers dripping water, leaks from busted pipes, and frozen pipes.”
“Even with lots of emergency measures in place, weather like this will sometimes override those,” the Marbury Water System added.Selma Mayor James Perkins Jr. has declared a local state of emergency for the city’s water system. He said the deep freeze is causing water pipes to burst throughout the city, prompting a “major loss of water.”“Citizens, please check underneath your homes for busted pipes. If you have a busted pipe, you need to turn your water off at the meter,” the mayor said.
Anyone who needs assistance turning off their water at the meter is asked to call the Selma Water and Sewer Board’s emergency line at 334-874-8857 or 334-349-1315. Macon County Emergency Management Agency Director Frank Lee said crews with the Macon County Water Authority are accessing breaches and working to determine when their water system will be running again.
