Thousands of customers in Mingo County
are still dealing with the aftermath of the winter storm that moved through
Wednesday into Thursday.
More than 3,500 water meters have been
affected and more than 14,000 customers are without water in the county.
The Mingo County PSD is working around
the clock to fix water issues throughout the county.
The Mingo County Commission has also
dispatched some of their employees to aid in the cleanup process.
There is no estimated restoration time
for those customers affected as many of the pumps are filled with mud or burnt
up due to no water.
Many of tanks are empty and until they
are partially filled it is impossible to get pressure on these lines. There are
also several broken lines that are hurting the time frame of getting water
back.
Water is being distributed throughout
the county.
The Mingo County Commission, American
Red Cross and area fire departments are working to fix the issues in the
county.
