Multiple Roanoke-area schools closed Wednesday due to water outages

ROANOKE COUNTY, Va. – Multiple schools in the Roanoke area will be closed Wednesday morning due to water outages.

The Western Virginia Water Authority told 10 News that there is a 12-inch water line break in the 3700 block of Buck Mountain.

Due to this, residents in the surrounding area, as well as the U.S. 220 corridor, could experience reduced water pressure or limited water service.

So far, Faith Christian School and Clearbrook Elementary School have announced that they will be closed on Wednesday.

Authorities estimate that the water line will be repaired within the next four hours.
