Nashville faces water emergency: Major breaks disrupt supply, residents urged to conserve

The town of Nashville issued a water emergency notice on Tuesday.

In a post on Facebook, officials said the town’s water supply comes from the city of Rocky Mount, and they are currently experiencing five major water main breaks.

“Combined with a water main break here in Nashville, the water supply to our system has been shut off,” the post read.

Officials said residents could experience some low water pressure or no water townwide and encouraged them to conserve as much water as possible.

“Use as little water as possible until further notice,” the post read. “Avoid laundry, dishwashers and unnecessary flushing.”

Officials also suggest avoiding washing cars or watering lawns. They should also limit showers and other “non-essential uses.”

Officials said they will provide an update as soon as more information becomes available.
