On Monday, Tennessee American Water identified a leak on one of its water main lines that crosses underneath the Tennessee River. The company has begun repairs to restore the water main line. Water service continues through a second line that delivers water to residents and businesses in North Chattanooga, North Shore, Red Bank, Riverview, Stuart Heights, Lupton City and Signal Mountain areas.
Some customers in north Chattanooga may have experienced a minor and temporary drop in water pressure on Monday. Since that time, Tennessee American Water has stabilized pressure points in the system. The main repair will restore redundancy – that is having more than one line delivering water to customers.
Updates have been provided to the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) to assure compliance with drinking water standards.
“Providing reliable, quality water is our priority,” said Tennessee American Water President Valoria Armstrong. “The repair of this water main line assures the water our customers use every day is there when they need it.”
