Residents along certain streets in Germantown should prepare for some temporary disruptions as the city initiates a water meter replacement project. Starting this week, crews will be systematically updating meters on various local roads, including Bensonwood Drive, Cranbrook Drive, and Woodruff Drive, to modernize the city’s water system. Residents will experience a brief water service outage, according to a social media post from the City of Germantown, Tennessee Government.
The city government has advised that replacements will occur on weekdays between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m., with each installation estimated to last around 20 minutes. To ensure a smooth transition and to notify residents of the upcoming work, technicians will knock on doors before starting. If no answer is received and no water usage is detected, the crews have been given the green light to proceed with the installation. The announcement details that a door hanger with instructions will be left behind after the work is done, advising residents to flush their lines via an outdoor spigot or bathtub faucet to clear any sediments.
While the plan is set, the city acknowledges that the schedule may need to be adjusted due to weather or other unforeseen factors. Those interested in learning further about the benefits of the meter replacement project, or seeking more detailed information about the process, are directed to visit the city’s official website.
