Boil water notice issued for Gibson County
GIBSON COUNTY, Tenn. – The Gibson County Municipal Water District has issued a Boil Water Notice for the Concord and Idlewild areas.
The district said the issue is caused by low water pressure as a result of broken water lines in the system.

The city of Bradford is NOT included in the notice.
The department said there is no indication that contamination has occurred, but the notice is a precaution.

Residents should also take the following steps before using the water:
