The Barnesville Water Department is planning a valve replacement project on East Main Street at the intersection of Grace Avenue. Work will begin at 10:00 PM on Thursday, March 12th, 2026 and continue into Friday morning. Temporary traffic lights will be set up on East Main Street from Thursday until Monday, March 16th, 2026 allowing for the repair as well as the concrete patch to cure. Grace Avenue residents may use the parking lot at Wilson Funeral Home to access their homes.
Water will be shut off for this repair and will affect East Main Street from Warren Avenue to Bethesda Street, Warren Avenue, Bell Street, Locust Drive, Grace Avenue, Cedar Avenue, Oak Street, and Maple Avenue.
Once repairs are complete and water service has been restored there will be a 48 hour boil order for anyone losing water pressure or service entirely. Water should be vigorously boiled for at least one minute prior to human consumption or dental hygiene use. Residents may also notice discoloration and should be cautious with laundry.
The Barnesville Water Department apologizes for any inconvenience that these water line repairs may create for our customers.
