Macon County officials are hopeful that repairs to damaged water pumps are made as soon as Friday.
Macon County Emergency Management Agency Director Frank Lee originally said it would take a week before repairs are made to the damaged water pumps.
Macon County Water Authority Administrator Elnora Love confirmed two pumps were struck by lightning on Sunday and Monday. “We have a lot of pipelines,” said Love. “That’s what takes us so long for trying to find out what’s going on.” Catherine Phillips, a certified water operator, said technicians are pulling the pumps out of the ground for repairs.The county has received donations of drinking water from area food banks for people to have while they wait for their supply to be restored.and get the latest local news and breaking alerts in your email!
