City of Hazard Utilities officials on Monday posted a statement on Facebook saying the city’s water plant suffered damages to its raw water pumps and is forced to using spare resources.

Officials said they have ordered new pumps for the plant, due to the old pumps being damaged by mud and debris from the river.

The amount of water it can get into the plant has decreased by 400 gallons a minute due to the plant only having one pump.

The post stated several residential water lines have been damaged and crews have been turning those meters off as they are found leaking.

All of Perry County is still under a boil water advisory.
