Public Works: Water main maintenance scheduled for 2/8, expect minor service disruptions

Published on

On Wednesday, February 8, 2023, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., the Utilities Division for the Department of Public Works will turn off one of two transmission mains that deliver water to the City from the water treatment plant. Customers who will lose water service completely will be notified directly.

This shutdown is to allow for the installation of a new valve assembly. This work may cause minor service disruptions such as reduced pressure and brief periods of discoloration in some locations throughout the City. This discoloration is from naturally occurring minerals that have precipitated in the water lines. If needed, run a cold water tap for a short time to clear your water.

For inquiries or concerns, please call (603) 332-4096.
