Holly Springs, N.C. — An estimated 135 houses in the Braxton Village subdivision were without water Tuesday morning after a water line break near the intersection of Texanna Way and Holly Meadow Drive.

Town crews pinpointed the location of the break late Tuesday morning and had it repaired by 2 p.m., when service was restored to the affected homes, officials said.

The cause of the line break hadn't been determined by Tuesday afternoon.

Officials delivered bottled water to affected homes Tuesday morning.

The number of houses keeps going up every time I see the headline; are they not working on it?

Really Rational? Had to detour through her neighborhood? Wow, what an inconvenience that must have been. I live in Braxton Village on one side of the break and my babysitter is on the other. I had to detour ALL the way around, and I think it added one minute to my commute.

Kristen, I totally agree! This article is an example of a town taking the pro-active approach, and I think its GREAT! Give me that over Cary anyday.

Pipes break. It happens. As mentioned, it happened just yesterday in Apex.

Do other towns provide bottled water to the homes that are impacted?

Do they contact the media to make sure residents knew of the issue and the estimated timeline?

This news story is a result of the town taking the initiative to contact the media... not because the media felt that this news story was "breaking news!"

My thanks to the town employees and as always to the Holly Springs Police. I personally think they're fantastic.
