UPDATE 12:35 PM. Water Service Out For A Portion of South Lincoln County

Water Service restored

UPDATE 12:35 PM: Fayetteville Public Utility crews have completed repairs and water pressure should be returning to normal in the areas affected.

Some Lincoln County residents living along the Ardmore Highway are without water at this hour. A contractor working in the area accidentally hit a water main around 10 o’clock this morning. Fayetteville Public Utility crews are on the scene making repairs but water had to be turned off to residents on Dunroamin Lane, Wells Hill Road, Payton Trail, Wallace Drive, Riley Circle, and several surrounding areas. Although crews are currently working as quickly as possible to repair the damage there have been no estimates when the water will be turned back on.
