January 18, 2024 – It is all hands on deck in the City of Cumby as their water department attempts to chase down the leaks after the winter freeze. City staff, police personnel, fire departement personnel and elected officials all have pitched in to get their water supply back online. Much progress was made on Wednesday as the water tower was filled by late evening, but quickly drained as water lines to residents filled back up and new leaks were discovered. Bottled water continues to be handed out to residents affected by the outage. Residents can pick up cases of bottled water at the City Maintenance facility located at 101 East Main St. across from City Hall. As the water department continues to work on the problem, some residents may have temporary water service and will be under a boil notice if that water is used for consumption. The boil notice will remain in effect until further notice.
