Crews are onsite and have prepped the damaged area for repair. New pipe is being installed and when staged, we will cut the damaged section and splice in a new section. This will likely affect additional subscribers that are currently not affected by the outage.

Most subscribers south of Azelea Gardens on South Lamar, and subscribers south of the fire station on Hwy 7 South will be affected during the repair.

Crews will work as quickly and safely as possibly to restore services.
