Emergency Flood Relief Meeting Hosted By Councilman Lonnell Matthews, Jr. Tonight & Wednesday!

From Councilmen Lonnell's press release:



Friends and neighbors,

I know that there are many questions and concerns all over District 1, and I would like to make myself available to address those concerns. I have schedule two (2) Emergency Flood Relief Meetings to give information and updates to concerned constituents.

The first meeting is Tonight:

Place: Knowles Assisted Living Facilty
1010 Camilla Caldwell Lane
Nashville, TN 37218
615-862-6440

Time: 6:00 pm

The second meeting will be on Wednesday, May 5th:

Place: North Police Precinct
2231 26th Ave. North
Nashville, TN 37208

Time: 4:30 pm


I am also notifying you at the request of the Mayor and the Vice-Mayor to convey the importance of water conservation in the wake of the weekend's floods. There is concern that we could experience a water shortage because one or the city's water treatment plants is down.

Please use water only for cooking and drinking for the next couple of days to ensure that our safe water supply is not depleted. If you have an automated irrigation system, please make sure and turn it off.

The public water supply provided by Metro Water Services continues to be safe. If customers lose water pressure or encounter discolored water, they are asked to contact Metro Water Services at (615) 860-4600.

Many of our neighbors need help. Volunteers can sign up to help with the recovery efforts through Hands On Nashville at www.hon.org. We anticipate volunteer activities being available starting midway through the week after approval from city officials.

If you would like to make a financial contribution to help fellow Nashvillians in need, this can be done through the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee at www.cfmt.org. All proceeds benefit Middle Tennessee flood victims.

For any non-emergency concerns due to the flood please call (615) 862-8574, for all emergencies dial 9-1-1!

Stay safe,
