The Cherokee water system water main was shut down on 05/19/2026 at 21:00 p.m. for repairs. This led to a loss of pressure in the distribution system, which may cause backpressure, backsiphonage, or a net movement of water from outside the pipe to the inside through cracks, breaks, or joints in the distribution system that are common in all water systems.
