Town of Blacksburg issued the following announcement on Sept. 12
The Town of Blacksburg has been working diligently on repairs to numerous water line breaks across town.
Progress is being made on the high priority breaks that impact the most customers. When crews begin work on the water line breaks, periodic water service cutoffs will be necessary. Efforts will be made to keep disruptions to a minimum.
The following are updates on the water lines repair progress.
Break in the 900-1000 block of South Main Street next to Graves Avenue: The water has been turned off in this location and is affecting service between Edgewood Lane and Sunset Boulevard. This break is currently under repair and water should be restored within the next two hours.
Break in the 300-400 block of Lucas Drive: This repair is next on the priority list. Water repairs are expected to be completed late this evening.
Break in the 1300 block of Progress Street: This repair will follow Lucas Drive, water is still available to residents and is not turned off at this point as the break is minor. When repairs begin, disruption to service may occur.
Break in the 1300 block of North Main Street: Repaired and North Main is back open to traffic. (REPAIRS COMPLETE)
Residents may experience air in their lines once water is restored. This can be resolved through running cold water lines within the house for a short period.
We apologize for the inconvenience this causes and appreciate your patience. Our awesome and talented Public Works crews and Engineering Department staff are working through the issues and will remain in the field until all repairs are made.
