WEBSTER CO., Ky. (WFIE) — Webster County Water District officials say they have been experiencing a county/system-wide water outage due to extreme cold weather.

According to a release, crews have been actively working to restore service as quickly and safely as possible Saturday.

In an update, officials say the water treatment plant is now back online, and they are working to restore service to all customers in a timely manner.

They say they were working on getting their water plant in the best condition before bringing water back to the county.

Authorities say as water is reintroduced to the system, some customers may have water before others.

Once water service is fully restored, the system will be under a Boil Water Advisory until further notice.
