The repair is complete and water service has been restored to all affected properties.
Due to entrapped air in the system, residents should flush plumbing lines using cold water faucets that do not have a screen until the water runs clear.
Crews are completing backfill and cleanup activities.

Contractors have excavated the leak and repairs are underway. Crews will stay onsite until the repair is complete.
When water service is restored, 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.

Excavation is underway. Once the pipe is exposed, an appropriate repair plan will be implemented.

Eagle River Water & Sanitation District was called out late evening of May 30 for a water leak in Edwards on Imperial Drive. Responding staff shutdown a section of the water main to stop the leak.
All properties on Imperial Drive will be without water service today. Affected properties are being notified directly via door hangers.
Staff are onsite assessing the situation. Once all other utilities have been located and it is safe to dig, excavation of the suspected leak area will begin.
