UPDATE 2 p.m. Wednesday:
The water and sewer utilities division of public works for the City of Henderson worked Tuesday and then again on Wednesday morning to repair a water line issue on Ruin Creek Road.
Several area businesses were impacted Tuesday.
City Manager Terrell Blackmon told WIZS News there was “a leak on Ruin Creek Road very early (Tuesday) morning.”
It took breaking up asphalt and concrete to get to and correct the issue as well as cooperation from the NCDOT.
The water had to be shut off some Tuesday to help identify the leak.
Blackmon said crews were able “to provide temporary water to the hospital so that they are able to continue their operations.”
A water leak was repaired by crews on Ruin Creek Road on October 24 as well.
For now, a valve also has been installed at the site to try to help minimize future issues, and it’s expected smooth sailing at this point, both with the water flow and across the freshly repaired roadway over the original issue.
