The city experienced a major water leak around 5am this morning at North and 10th Street near a major water transmission line. The leak is currently valved off for repair, however the leak drained the majority of the city’s elevated storage capacity.
We are asking everyone to conserve water while we attempt to repair the major leak and build reserves back into the system.
Customers are likely to see discolored water due to this major leak and the disruption it has caused in the distribution system. Customers closest to North and 10th are more likely to be effected. However, this leak has disrupted flows citywide so discolored water could be experienced throughout the system.
We will be unable to flush at the present time due to low water reserves throughout the system.
Thank you for your patience and conservation as we strive to repair this major leak.
