Water Shutdown
Water shutdowns to select properties are scheduled for Friday, August 5 and Saturday, August 6, as the contractor works to replace fire hydrants and water service connections north of Hazel Street. Each day, water is expected to be shutoff between approximately 8:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Notices were distributed to affected properties. Please note this work is weather permitting. We appreciate your continued patience throughout this project!
Preparation Tips for Residents
The City understands that shutting off water to your home is an inconvenience, however it is necessary to complete the water main work. The City recommends storing drinking water in your refrigerator and disposable water in a bathtub for use in flushing toilets, etc.
When the water is restored, please note it may appear rust colored. If you experience rust colored water, here’s helpful information:
1. This condition DOES NOT pose a health problem.
2. Normal running of COLD water in your home will soon clear up the problem. Please run the cold water for at least five minutes after it runs clear. DO NOT USE HOT WATER. This will prevent rusty water from entering the hot water tank.
3. If the rusty water affects your laundry, you may purchase “oxalic acid”, or commercial products for taking rust out of clothes, from local grocery, drug or hardware stores. Follow the product instructions for rewashing the clothes and the rust will be removed.
Hazel Street Temporary Closure
Hazel Street will remain closed through Tuesday, August 16 as the crew prepares the intersection for concrete. Please use the detour route below.
