Clarksville, TN – The Cunningham Utility District (CUD) is working a main line leak on Highway 48 where the new bridge construction is taking place over Louise Creek. At 3:00pm, valves are being closed off to isolate the area affected by the leak.
As of 7:45pm, the new line has been completed, and they are backfilling the ditch now. If all continues to go as planned CUD should be able to start opening up valves within the hour.
There will continue to be areas with low pressure until the system stabilizes.
Multiple flushing valves will be opened around the area to help alleviate air in the lines. This is normal after a leak of this magnitude. If you experience air in your lines, turn on a faucet on the cold water side.
Thank you all for your patience while we worked to fix the issue.
