The Town of Trion will shut off water service to part of town Friday morning as crews work to repair a water line.

Town officials say beginning Friday, February 20th at 9:30 a.m., water will be turned off for customers from the Chattooga River southward to Moore Street. Trion Maintenance Superintendent Brandon Croy said service will remain off in that area until the repair is completed.

Residents and businesses in the affected area are encouraged to plan ahead, store water for essential needs, and limit water usage before the shutoff begins. Once service is restored, customers may notice temporary discoloration or air in the lines, which typically clears after running water for a short time.
