A huge swath of the South has been under a deep freeze this week with cold temperatures expected to continue into the weekend. The brutal cold has been causing a myriad of water-related issues across the region.

In Memphis, Tennessee, the entire city is under a precautionary boil water advisory due to a multitude of burst pipes and "a significant loss of pressure to the drinking water system."

The Memphis City Council announced Saturday morning that water will be distributed at various locations around the city in response to the Boil Water Advisory.

As of this morning, Memphis Light, Gas and Water said they continue to work "around the clock to find and fix leaks in the system," but that they "cannot provide estimated restoration times until all leaks are identified."
