Manchester Water Department working to repair water main break on Wednesday… Photo by Barry West
There was a main water line leak on the Woodbury Hwy yesterday that closed Coffee County schools early on Wednesday. The leak affected the new middle school and New Union Elementary. All schools were closed due to students that ride various buses and middle school being countywide.
The water line is somewhat new and was installed by the State of Tennessee during the state’s Highway 53 extension project. The Manchester Water Department responded to the scene and worked several hours on repairs. Coffee County Middle School and New Union Elementary are closed again Thursday. All other schools are open.
The problem was found to be about 13 feet deep… Photo provided
