May 31: two emergency water service outages - Edwards and Cordillera

May 31, 2024

Eagle River Water & Sanitation District is working to repair two leaks in the public water system that were detected late on May 30 and early May 31.

One leak is in Edwards with all properties on Imperial Drive out of water service.

The other leak is on Red Draw in Cordillera, with all properties on Redtail Ridge and those on Red Draw that are east of Peregrine Drive out of water service.

Crews will stay on site until repairs are complete. Please use caution in the work areas.

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.
