Repairs at Abbeville’s water treatment plant that led to the recent discoloration of water in the city have been completed.
Mayor Mark Piazza said Thursday afternoon that the crew working on replacing a large gear and bearing that turns the rake system for the clarifier completed its work late Wednesday.
That part of the system had to be taken out of service. That caused discoloration to the water in some areas of the city during the last couple of weeks. Piazza said it may take a couple of days for the system to clear out the discolored water.

Members of the Abbeville Fire Department responded to a vehicle fire Wednesday afternoon.
For unknown reasons, the vehicle caught on fire in the parking lot of Burger King on the Bypass in Abbeville.
No further information had been released as of Wednesday afternoon.

Spring is officially underway.

“I invite everyone to come out,” Abbeville Mayor Mark Piazza said. “We are looking forward to beautiful weather and a nice event.”
