Water main break repair causes outage of up to 8 hours in Hermitage

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Water Services is working to repair a water main break near S. New Hope road in Nashville.

The MWS map shows "repair in progress" at the bottom.

Evans also said on Facebook that those who are seeing water return to main pressure, MWS recommends letting it run for a little while to clear the lines, and says there is no need to boil water.

We have not yet heard from officials what caused the break yet. We will update you as soon as we have more information.

I have two boys in elementary school, so as the school voucher debate takes center stage again – I wanted to really understand this issue. Arizona started its school voucher program 13 years ago and is the first state in the nation to offer universal school vouchers. That's what Governor Lee is proposing in two years. I leaned on the expertise of an investigative reporter in Arizona - and she came through with facts, figures and plenty of insight. This reporting gave me a lot to think about as a mom and a taxpayer. I think it will for you too.
