(June 25, 2023 – 11:30 p.m.) Damaging winds with gusts up to 75 mph has affected more than 120,000 customers in Memphis and impacted MLGW’s water distribution system. As a result, Arlington, Cordova and some areas of Northeast Shelby County are experiencing low water pressure.

To conserve the water supply for the greatest public benefit, MLGW is asking customers to voluntarily reduce water usage through Monday at 5 p.m.

Water Conservation Tips

· If you wash dishes by hand, don’t leave the water running for rinsing.

· Don’t let the faucet run while you clean vegetables and other foods.

· Delay washing clothes, watering your lawn or washing your car until Monday at 5 p.m.

· Take short showers.

· Plug the sink to capture enough water for your shave instead of continuously running the water.
