MEMPHIS, Tenn. — City of Germantown (COG) said a majority of Germantown water customers are not included in Memphis Light Gas and Water's (MLGW) boil water order.  COG said the water system is expected to withstand the current severe weather.  "Even in the midst of this inclement weather, the City's water system is fully operational and our pressures remain normal", COG said. MLGW instructed customers to boil water for at least three minutes before consuming or using for cooking to avoid consuming contaminated water caused by low water pressure.
