Franklin County Water District 3 leak continues for months
SUMMARY: Caley Henry has been dealing with a water leak in her yard for two months, which has created a small pond and spiked her water bill by $15. The leak, first noticed in late July, has caused her water usage to surpass previous months by over 1,000 gallons, also increasing her sewer bill. Despite notifying the local Water District Number 3, no timeline for repairs has been provided. The district has acknowledged the leak but prioritizes repairs based on severity and customer impact. Local manager Tony Barrett stated the leak is not responsible for Henry’s high bill, claiming no water flows through the meter.
Water District Number 3 of Franklin County knows the puddle is there, but so far, it has not fixed it.
