Bartlett Residents Face Water Outages as Crews Work to Repair Broken Main
BARTLETT, TN — Residents of Bartlett are grappling with unexpected water outages today as city crews diligently tackle a broken water main that has left some neighborhoods dry. Reports of low water pressure began to surface early this morning, prompting immediate action from local officials.
The break, identified on a main line near the intersection of Stage Road and Appling Road, has affected several households, causing inconvenience for families and businesses alike. City workers were dispatched shortly after the problem was detected, and ongoing repairs are expected to last throughout the day.
“We understand that this can be frustrating for our residents,” said City Public Works Director Sarah Ramirez. “Our crews are working hard to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, and we appreciate everyone’s patience.”
Residents in the affected areas are advised to conserve water and have been notified through social media and local news outlets. In the meantime, bottled water is being distributed at select community centers for those in need.
Local resident Mark Johnson expressed his concerns, stating, “It’s tough, especially with kids at home. We’re just hoping they fix it soon.” City officials are providing regular updates as they monitor the situation, ensuring that citizens stay informed through texts, phone calls, and the city’s official website.
