Tennessee American Water has lifted the request to temporarily limit non-essential water use for St. Elmo, Lookout Valley and Mountain residents. Earlier this evening, the 24-inch pipe which supplies the majority of the water to that area of Hamilton County was repaired.
Friday afternoon the main was damaged when a contractor bored through the pipe. As a precautionary measure and only until the repair was complete, Tennessee American Water had asked residents in Lookout Valley, St.
Elmo and Lookout Mountain to limit non-essential water use. The repair was completed in a little more than 24 hours.
If residents notice air or discolored water, they can run their cold water until it runs clear.
