Surface waters in the area may be contaminated

This notice deals with surface waters only. It does not in any way concern drinking water. The water plant has been unaffected by the flooding and all drinking water from the City of Clarksville is SAFE.

Due to the extreme flooding in the Cumberland River basin and localized Clarksville area flooding, all surface water (creeks, streams, puddles, and ponds) in Clarksville and the general area should be considered contaminated. The Clarksville Gas and Water Department recommends the public abstain from wading, swimming, or drinking from any surface water source. The water may be contaminated with gasoline, oil, untreated wastewater, or other hazards.
