The damaged water line was found on Dole Road at Clarks Branch Creek. The ground has been washed out to expose the line and it will need to be recovered. OEC made the repair to the line this evening but the storage tanks are still losing water and the power has gone out. Nothing else can be done tonight so the operators will return tomorrow to restart the water treatment plant and assess the situation.

The water line on Dole Road and Homestead need to be shut off because of additional leaks draining the system. There will no water for members on Dole Road and Homestead until tomorrow.

Please conserve water going into Monday since reserves are very low.

It can be difficult to spot water leaks when it’s wet but if you notice anything odd around your meter or excessive water in ditches, please report them at the website or the CBWA Facebook group page.

Many of our members have been experiencing flooding and drainage issues with the abundance of rain today. We hope that everyone is staying safe.

We are now hearing a few reports of “no water” from Dole Road and Clarks Branch members. Our operators have been notified and will look into the issue. As soon as we have more to report, we will share with our members.

If you’re on Facebook, go and follow the Clarks Branch Water Association group as another way to share and find information.

We are removing the conserve water request as of this morning.

The leak detection survey performed on Wednesday found a main line leak on Horizon Lane. OEC has planned to start the repair after the holiday weekend. The survey also identified about several leaks on the customer side of water meters and those property owners will be notified once we receive the finished report next week.

A faulty valve on the clearwell was forced opened allowing us to produce more water. The replacement valve has not come in yet but is in route.

We wish everyone a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
