Statement from the Town of Coeburn

The Town of Coeburn recently became aware that a religious organization’s website displayed the Town’s name and seal and identified the Town as one of the organization’s “current partners.” The Town was not a partner of the organization and had not authorized the use of its name, seal, or other identifying information in a manner suggesting such a partnership. The organization has since removed the Town’s name and seal from its website and informed the Town that their inclusion was a mistake.

For clarification, the Town of Coeburn is not, and has never been, a partner of this organization. The organization referenced food drives it conducted in early 2026 in various communities throughout the region, including Coeburn. However, equal access and opportunities in accordance with applicable laws and regulations does not establish a partnership with the Town.

The Town has addressed this matter through appropriate correspondence and remains committed to serving the best interests of its residents, treating organizations fairly and consistently, and complying with all applicable laws and regulations.

The Town of Coeburn will be flushing water lines October 5-7, 2026. During the flushing in your neighborhood, you may notice discolored water, or air in the water causing the water to have a milky appearance. If the water is discolored, open your faucets and let the water run a little, and exercise caution washing light colored clothes. Water that appears milky has air trapped in the water and that will dissipate as the water sits. Thank you for your patience as we flush the lines.
