Some one million gallons of water leaked Sunday from storage tanks in northern Greene County as the result of apparent vandalism.

Greene County sheriff's deputies are investigating the incident that occurred near Baileyton.

The value of the water and the cost of repairs was estimated at $25,000, according to the Sheriff's Department.

An employee of North Greene Utilities told Deputy Sheriff Robert Livingston on Sunday morning that between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. Sunday, someone drove a screwdriver through a water line near two large water storage tanks off Hawkins Lane near Baileyton, causing the serious water leak.
