Hello: LindaYves
Whenever repair work is done on main lines in the cities pipes, there is always a good chance debris and sediment is stirred up. Which may have collected in the house lines and settled into the tank. Effecting the hot water supply. Try "FLUSHING" the tank. Not "DRAINING." Flushing.
There is a huge difference between draining and flushing.

The flushing may also resolve the trapped air problem.
