6:45 p.m., Feb. 20, 2024

The repair is complete and water service has been restored to all affected residents. 

Crews will be back on site at 7:30 a.m. on Feb. 21 for cleanup and to demobilize equipment and jersey barriers. 

Crews have reopened valves on the water main to restore water service. Properties may
temporarily experience low water pressure until water lines refill. A temporary outage
normally entraps some air in the water distribution system, which can cause water to
have a cloudy appearance. It also stirs up sediment in water mains that may briefly
cause discolored water. The water is safe to drink.

To clear your pipes of entrapped air and discoloration, run cold water faucets
that do not have a screen
, such as those in tubs or an outside spigot. Flush
your lines until the water runs clear.
