NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Yet another water main has ruptured in the downtown Nashville area this week.
Metro Water Services said on Thursday morning, an 8-inch main broke near the State Capitol building. It's the third water main to break this week, each incident within a mile of the others.
Rep. John Ray Clemmons shared a photo of the leak, which showed water flowing down a hill near the Capitol grounds.
