Drought forced a Bledsoe County prison to switch water sources, which unfortunately brought brown, foul-smelling water that stained laundry, although the water was safe to consume. The prison will switch back to another water supply once a water shortage was alleviated. Chattanooga Times Free Press (Tenn.), Oct. 18, 2016
