Athens suffered a gas outage on Thursday due to a break in the Floodwood main, the same spot as an earlier July 4 rupture. The line sits under five feet of water, complicating repairs as the gas company assigns workers to raise poles and cross the river above the water while hoping to avoid further trouble.
