Update. . . City crews continue working to repair the main water line break that occurred earlier today. Crews will remain on-site throughout the night to complete the repair and then begin flushing the water lines and restoring pressure to the entire water system.

We are working to restore water service as quickly as possible.

Due to the severity of the water line break, the City is issuing a Precautionary Water Boil Advisory out of an abundance of caution. Please review the attached advisory for important information and instructions.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as our crews work to safely restore service.

Look for updates on the City website, as well as the City's social media and local media outlets.
