June, 8, 2023, City of Alcoa water is brown in the Hunt Road area or more. Be careful. City representative said a water line broke. They are working on it. No time as to when it will be fixed. They said no sense in flushing our pipes until they are done and have flushed main pipes. But, they don't know when it will be fixed and don't know how they would inform us as to when it was fixed.
This happened less than a year ago, August 4, 2022.
The water was brown for 6 or so hours.
The City of Alcoa really needs to find a way to inform citizens of utility problems, especially if it is going to happen more frequently.
