Water-Advisory

Arlington crews are still working to repair some of the water lines impacting West Arlington, which means drivers should expect delays while traveling in the affected areas.

For the next month, traffic on W. Pleasant Ridge Rd. from Old Dominion Dr. to Pleasant Oaks Ct. will be restricted to one lane in both directions as crews make all the necessary repairs.

Traffic at W. Green Oaks Blvd. near Pleasant Ridge Ct. will be restricted to one lane in the southbound direction. The repairs are completed and the pavement will be replaced on Saturday morning. Drivers should expect the lane to open on Sunday morning. northbound traffic is flowing as normal.

Waterview is restricted to westbound traffic only at W. Green Oaks Blvd. There is a temporary detour setup, but we anticipate all of this being removed by Friday evening.

Here is the latest information on the repairs currently underway:

  • W. Pleasant Ridge Rd. near Pleasant Oaks Ct. (42-inch water main) - water is currently off; repairs will continue throughout the day.
  • W. Green Oaks Blvd. near W. Pleasant Ridge Rd. - no water off; repair is complete. Concrete is being poured today.
  • W. Pleasant Ridge Rd. near Sangre Trail - no water off; repair to water main line is complete. Concrete is being poured today.
  • Waterview Dr. near W. Green Oaks Blvd. - water coming back on this morning. Crews repaired line but additional work may be needed.
  • Tennessee Trail near W. Sublett Rd. - repair is complete

Arlington water customers will be pleased to know the City's quality testing has determined the water continues to be safe to drink.
