Water Line Leak Notice
There is currently a water line leak at Buckwood & Tenth Street.
Homes most likely to be affected include those on:
🏠 Buckwood
🏠 Twisted Oak
🏠 Sandy Lane
🏠 6th Street
Residents in these areas may experience no water for approximately 4–6 hours while repairs are made.
We appreciate your patience as our crews work to restore service as quickly and safely as possible.
Crews will begin work at 7:00 AM, starting on the north end and moving south. Please expect delays and limited access — it may be difficult to get through the area during construction.
Our red dirt road nostalgia is coming to an end! Thank you for your patience as we make these much-needed improvements.
Please note that the article in the August Newsletter regarding back-to-school dates listed the incorrect days of the week. However, the dates themselves are correct.
For the most accurate and up-to-date information on school happenings, be sure to follow your student’s school on its official social media pages. Each school shares important updates, announcements, and event details throughout the year (and they get the days right).
Thank you for your understanding!
