SECONDARY WATER LINE REPAIR TO IMPACT SOME RESIDENTS
A leak in a secondary water main line necessitates that secondary water be shut off for a portion of the city, starting Wednesday, August 26. The shut off impacts residents and businesses located in Zone 4, as shown on the map at the link below, which includes the neighborhoods of Canyonview and Western Springs. Service in other zones is not impacted.

It is anticipated that work will take two or three days to complete. Crews will work swiftly to ensure that secondary water service can be restored as soon as possible.
