IVY JACOBS PHOTO - The City of Brazil has been busy due to the recent winter blast. City employees worked in frigid temperatures to fix an eight-inch water line break near the 300 block of north Hoosier Street Tuesday night.
Freezing temperatures caused a break in an eight-inch city water line on Tuesday, but it was repaired without the need for a boil order.
Brazil Mayor Brian Wyndham was with the city water department crew at the water line break near the 300 block of north Hoosier Street during the repair process that took six-seven hours. The rupture, which was repaired shortly after midnight, only affected the city water customers in that area.
City Street pothole filling and crack repair work gets underway Feb 23, 2021 at 11:46 am by WGNS
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – After a week of ice and snow that blanketed Middle Tennessee, requiring the application of approximately 2,000 tons of salt on City streets and plowing of major roadways, potholes are appearing throughout town. As always, freezing and refreezing have contributed to the problem.
If you see a dangerous pothole, please notify the City Street Department with information so crews can respond to the location and make repairs. Motorists are encouraged to slow down when approaching Street crews working pothole repair on busy roadways.
During the past week City Street crews worked over 80 hours in 12-hour shifts responding to the major winter storm. These same employees are now out on City streets repairing potholes.

He reported that CWS worked numerous Work Orders for the citizens of our town, worked with Wayne Farms helping with a major water leak just off Highway 223 in front of the plant. CWS sponsored a First Responders Appreciation Lunch for the Police Department, City Street Department, Fire Department and Utilities Department on November 20, 2020. We are waiting on pricing for paving of Ellis Street where the sewer line was replaced.
