Water Leak Affects 90% of Fayetteville Residents

On Thursday, July 13, the City of Fayetteville repaired a water leak on the corner of Rusk and W. Main Street. According to Fayetteville Mayor Mike Stroup, the water leak was caused by old piping that had broken the previous evening, Wednesday, July 11. The section of piping had to be completely replaced, so repairs began Thursday morning at 10:15 a.m. and were completed by 1 p.m. Roughly 90 percent of Fayetteville residents were affected by the water leak, and a boil water notice was put in place for 24 hours until the City could confirm that water was safe for drinking.
