MONROE COUNTY, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Some residents in Monroe County are without water after a broken water main.

According to a Facebook post by the Monroe County Board of Commissioners, water services are interrupted on Blount Road from just north of its intersection with Timberline Drive and Big Buck Trail to as far south as its intersection with Towaliga South Road.

This is also impacting Monroe County water system customers on Timberline Drive, Big Buck Trail, Towaliga South Road, Riverview Road, Riverbend Road, and Hillcrest Lane.
