OVERTON COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVF) — Overton County is under a countywide boil water mandate as some areas remain without water, according to Overton/Pickett E-911.

Residents should boil water for drinking, cooking, and brushing teeth until further notice. Strain water, bring to a rolling boil for at least one minute, then let cool. Bottled water may also be used.
