Wachs Water Services, working under contract for the City of Oak Ridge, is conducting a leak detection survey on water lines throughout the city, a press release said.
During the survey, Wachs Water crews will be listening to underground water lines in an effort to detect leaks and areas for potential water main breaks, the press release said. The results of the survey will assist the Oak Ridge Public Works Department in identifying areas of concern within the water system.
No digging is required for the survey, but residents may see workers in their yards. Surveying has already begun on the far east end of town and will continue to head west. Work is concentrated north of the Oak Ridge Turnpike to North Illinois Avenue and is anticipated to last until mid-January 2018, the press release said.
Questions and requests for more information can be directed to the Public Works Department by calling (865) 425-1875 or emailing [email protected].
More information will be added as it becomes available.
