The City of Athens announces a water outage on all of Townsend, and portions of Eden Place, Pleasantview, Jacobs, and Dalton. There was a scheduled outage today for Dalton to remove an old line from service in conjunction with the on-going water system improvement project in the area. In the process of shutting off the section a valve failed, resulting in the necessity for the wider outage. The crews are working as quickly as possible to restore service to the area, with the goal of close of business Friday. There will be a boil order once complete for the affected area. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Questions or concerns may be directed to the City of Athens Engineering and Public Works Department, 740-593-7636.
