NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Metro Water Services finished working to repair a water main break near S. New Hope road in Nashville Sunday night.

The MWS map shows "repair in progress" at the bottom.

Erin Evans, Councilmember for Hermitage (District 12) where the break happened, says the repair means at least an 8 hour outage for some in the area.

Evans also said on Facebook that those who are seeing water return to main pressure, MWS recommends letting it run for a little while to clear the lines, and says there is no need to boil water.

We have not yet heard from officials what caused the break yet. We will update you as soon as we have more information.

Tenn. mom invites son's organ recipients to do his favorite activity, dance

Here’s a beautiful story of how one mother turned her grief journey into a gathering of gratitude… and organ donation awareness.

Robb Coles highlights a special event organized by Cari Hollis – whose 26-year old son Austin died two years ago. Austin agreed to be an organ donor – and that single gesture saved multiple lives.

Cari reached out to as many recipients she could find – several of whom traveled to Nashville for an emotional celebration in Austin’s honor. One woman – whose life was saved by receiving Austin’s lungs – put it simply: “He’s my angel”.
