McDOWELL, Ky. (WMDJ) - Southern Water has temporarily shut down the main water line intake at the plant in Allen. Water coming into the intake line is too muddy to clean and will cause further damages. This is a temporary interruption of service.

Outages are being reported all across Floyd County including: Allen, Bevinsville, Drift, Eastern, Grethel, Ligon, McDowell, Melvin, Minnie, Price, Right Beaver, Spewing Camp, Spurlock, Wayland and Weeksbury.

Southern Water has said they’ll be receiving water from Prestonsburg City Utilities to feed the David area for the moment.

Expect long interruptions of service as company officials ask for patience as they work on a variety of issues.
