This Is Nashville

Recovery update: Water woes and dampened spirits

Listen Later

Multiple days without power is taking its toll on both our spirits and on Middle Tennessee's infrastructure.

Water main breaks and power loss to pumping stations is causing more water outages as Nashville thaws and nearly 100,000 people are still in the dark with no heat. Many residents are at a loss for what to do next.

In this episode, we air Metro Nashville's daily press conference live from Mayor Freddie O'Connell's office, a live interview with Metro Water Services deputy director Brent Freeman, a few hotel dispatches and a check-in on our tiniest (and cutest) residents.

Guests

  • Dale Grimes, mayor of Oak Hill
  • Leesa LeClaire, President and CEO, Greater Nashville Hospitality Association
  • Brent Freeman, deputy director & Sonia Harvat, Public Information Officer, Metro Water Services
  • Cynthia Abrams, WPLN Metro Reporter
