Just happen to live at the water tower and talked to them this morning.
A contractor hit a water main on the south side of Hamblen about 7:00 last night and it took all night to replace the line.
They couldn't get it isolated, so most of the water drained from the tower.
Once they got it repaired, then woman operating the pumps was able to keep them on and I had water about 7:15 this morning.
Shouldn't have that specific problem again in the near future, but the woman did tell me there is a lot of construction work scheduled on the Forest Cove water system starting this month.
I also have seen the water department marking underground lines along the roads and also in the fenced area at the tank, which supports the future construction theory.
Hope our water bill doesn't increase a lot. 4951
