Water main break repaired in Chatham County; residents said they had no water since Saturday night

Residents in Chatham County said a water main break has left them without water since Saturday night. Many said they're frustrated that the county never notified them – and still hasn't.

One resident said the water was shut off around 8 p.m. Saturday. Earlier in the day, another resident said he saw water in the road around 2 p.m.

According to Chatham County Water Utilities Director Blake Mills, the county had no knowledge of any customers without water Saturday night.

A woman said she's was concerned because she doesn't know if the water is safe to drink. Another WRAL viewer said the Moncure Fire Department was water to farms with animals.

Some residents were concerned about what would happen if there's a fire and no water to put it out. The assistant fire chief said he spoke with the water department Saturday evening and was told it was a "non-emergent problem."

He said the affected area was between the water main break in front of the Duke Energy Plant on Corinth Road and Christian Chapel Church Road, which is off of N.C. Highway 42.

Mills also said the water main was repaired around 2 p.m. Sunday afternoon.
