Some residents in Muhlenberg County say they're still without water.

Officials say around 500 residents yesterday had no water, but today that number had been significantly reduced.

It's a slow process getting water back on, but a process taking too long for some in the Greenville community.

"We live up here on the hill. It takes a long time for water to get on the hill," said Wines, a Muhlenberg County resident still with no water.

For Larry Wines and Bud--it's been a tough couple of weeks.

"Bud, he drinks bottled water now. He doesn't like it. He doesn't like being without water," Wines said.

The two stayed at their home on Terrebone Loop when the ice storm hit.

"People don't know what it is to go without power anymore," Wines said.

But with no water since--that's made things hard.

"If you don't have running water, you're in trouble nowadays," he added.

Wines is using bottled water for cooking, but has to go elsewhere to take showers.

Now he's just ready for the problem to be solved.

"It should've been fixed, but we haven't heard any word of what was going on," Wines said.

"It's frustrating. They probably feel like nobody is trying to help them. But I guarantee you, those guys worked around the clock," explained Rick Newman, the judge-executive of Muhlenberg County.

Newman says there is a reason why getting water to some residents has been so slow.

"They can't just let all that water out at the same time. They're pretty sure there's some leaks out there and the only way they can determine that is to turn on certain sections at a time," Newman said.

But for Wines, he says city officials are doing all they can.

So for Bud and himself, they'll just keep waiting it out.

"It's got a lot of people ill about, but there's no sense being ill about it. We just haven't got it," Wines said.

Judge-Executive Newman says he's told the situation should be
99-percent better by this evening, and that most customers should have water.

Residents can contact the Muhlenberg County Water District with any concerns or questions.
