Brown: Cookeville Draining Well In Storms

Cookeville’s drainage systems appear to be doing their job in the heavy rain.

Rain began early Tuesday morning and continued heavily throughout the day. Cookeville’s streets can sometimes turn into rivers quickly but that didn’t seem to be the case Tuesday.

Cookeville Public Works Director Greg Brown.

 

“They haven’t told me if anyone’s called in with anything major but there are some areas I saw driving around that had water up over the roads but it wasn’t blocking traffic at that time,” Brown said.

If you do find an area where water covers the road, don’t drive through it if you don’t know how deep it is, Brown said.
