According to the City of Germantown, the city's water supply became contaminated after diesel leaked into the reservoir Thursday, July 20.
Germantown leaders said the source of the continued water contamination "has been discovered and addressed." They said the samples that were tested Tuesday, July 25 from the Southern Avenue reservoirs were clear from contamination, and they will begin with a "very controlled, systematic flushing program."
The city said the restrictions will remain in place until the entire water system has been flushed, cleared, retested and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation signs off.
Water use restrictions were partially lifted for some parts of Germantown Sunday, July 23. COG said water customers east of Forest Hill Irene Road could start back normal water consumption and use as of 9 p.m. Sunday night.
