(December 27, 2022, 10 a.m.) – The Memphis Light, Gas and Water Call Center is handling emergency calls only at this time. Customers with non-emergenency, customer service questions, should speak to a Service Advisor at one of these MLGW Community Office locations:
MLGW’s downtown Community Office is closed to foot traffic today.
The utility asks customers to call its emergency hotline, 528-4465, to report water leaking from the street or a building. Customers should not use the hotline to report low water pressure, or no water.
Customers receiving water from MLGW (excluding Bartlett, Collierville, Germantown and Millington) are under a precautionary boil water advisory until further notice. Customers, commercial and residential, should also conserve water at this time. MLGW initiated the Emergency Water Management Phase of its Drought Management Plan Monday.
Commercial and Industrial Customers should limit water usage by: Any nurseries, garden centers, etc. should only use the amount of water necessary to keep plants alive.
