Update on the Airline Water Main Leak - As we shared yesterday, the water main has been repaired. A big thank-you to the MLGW crews who worked through the cold, rainy weather to get service restored.
Now, the focus is on road repairs. The work left quite a mess, including a sizeable hole in Airline Road.
Traffic will continue to be shifted while crews repair roughly 40 feet of the northbound lanes. Please drive with extra caution to help keep the work zone safe for everyone.
Water Main Break Update (11:45am) - For anyone who saw the “river” forming in front of Town Hall this morning - we have bad news for those hoping tonight's cold temps might turn Airline into an impromptu skating rink.
MLGW has the water turned off and crews are actively working on repairs. We don’t have an estimated completion time yet, but will keep you posted as soon as we know more.
Thanks for your patience as they get everything buttoned up!
MLGW has been contacted and is on the way to assess and address the issue. Residents in the area may notice impacts to their water pressure in the meantime.
Thanks for hanging in there with us while we manage this unexpected “double feature” of water leaks today!

Nearby residents and businesses may experience low water pressure or discolored water during and shortly after the repair work.
We’ll share updates as more information becomes available — thank you for your patience while crews complete the work.

A few fun facts about this year’s statewide native tree-planting event:
🌱 It’s the 12th Annual Tennessee Tree Day
🌿 Choose from 11 native species
🌎 More than 20,000 participants are expected to plant 100,000 trees across the state
🌳 Since 2007, over 1.1 million trees have been planted statewide!
Visit tectn.org/tennesseetreeday to see this year’s species and reserve yours today — supplies are limited!
🍂 Got leaves? We’ve got you covered! Waste Pro will collect up to 5 bags of leaves on your regular trash day — just place them next to your trash cans.
No need to call ahead unless your bags are extra heavy (over 35 lbs) or you have more than 5 bags.
Or skip the bags altogether — mulching leaves into your yard is easier and, according to lawn care pros, one of the best things you can do for your grass! 🍁
