If the only thing you need is a number, it is in the rail, and it belongs to the desk that already covers this county.
This is a Hatchie-bottom town, and the town itself runs the water and the sewer — not a utility district, not the county, but the municipality. Small systems like that are quick to reach and quick to answer, which matters on a supply-side failure. The river beside it is the least engineered large river in West Tennessee, so the bottomland here drains the slow way rather than through a straightened channel. Ground that drains slowly keeps an underfloor space damp long after the room above it reads dry, and that changes how long equipment has to stay.
Four organizations can be involved at a single address in this town. Water and sewer are the town's; natural gas comes from Brownsville Energy Authority twelve miles away; and electricity is either Southwest Tennessee Electric Cooperative or Chickasaw Electric depending on where in the town the site sits. The town's own economic development material says so plainly, which is unusual candor from a municipality. On a water loss it means the utility question has to be answered from a bill before anybody assumes which number kills the power.
There is no partial coverage at this address. The work is held at ZIP code 38069. Anything past the mitigation stage puts the job in front of Haywood County Code Enforcement.

The sequence here starts with the electric distributor rather than the water. Standing water and live circuits are the reason: with two possible suppliers, guessing wrong wastes the call that matters most. The water shutoff is the town's, which is a short conversation, and the wastewater side is the town's as well, so a large extraction volume goes back into a system the same municipality runs. Permits for the repair go to Haywood County Code Enforcement, because this town has no codes department of its own — unusual for an incorporated municipality and worth knowing before a rebuild is scheduled.

An EF-3 that began in northern Fayette County tracked roughly thirty-one miles through Haywood County past Stanton and into Madison County, killing three people.
What the building stock here does
Old and new stand next to each other here in a way no other town on this desk manages. The older population is pre-war rural frame over crawl spaces, and it behaves like every other old rural house in the region: water leaves the room quickly and lingers underneath it. The newer population is construction that is not finished yet, where a loss lands on unseasoned framing and on assemblies that have not reached an equilibrium of their own. Drying targets for those two are not the same number, and treating a six-month-old house like a sixty-year-old one produces a reading that looks fine over a floor that is not.
The final walkthrough is done with the owner and the meter together, at the same marked points used on day one, so the finish is verifiable rather than announced.

Before you call
Photograph each room from the doorway before anything is carried out of it. Once furniture moves and carpet lifts, nobody can reconstruct what the loss looked like, including your adjuster.
Most of the cost in a water loss is decided in the first six hours, and almost none of it is decided by who has the cheapest hourly rate.
