A water main break in Taylor County could leave several homes without water for several weeks, according to the City of Campbellsville.

The break happened 20 feet under flooded land on KY70, east of KY76.

"At that point we knew we had a big emergency on our hands at that time," according to Campbellsville Mayor Dennis Benningfield.

Officials told 99.9 the Big dawg News a commercial diver was used to locate a shut-off valve, which was under 15 feet of water. Since this was successful, only residents on Shofner Road could be without water for several weeks.

"It was very muddy and like I said a lot of debris so he couldn't visually see what he was doing he had to more or less feel around but he was able to locate the valve and he shut that valve off," according to Campbellsville City Manager Josh Pedigo.

All area's affected by yesterday water outtage is under a boil water advisory until further notice.
