LCWD crew is mobilizing to repair an emergency water main break on Summer Street. There will be issues with pressure and discoloration until the repair is made. Work is expected to begin at approximately 9:30am. Residents in the areas from Walnut Street/Summer Street to Lakeview/Summer Street may lose water during this time.
If your home is in this general area, you may be impacted.
Please refer to the following do’s and don’ts during this time and after the repair has been completed.
- TURN YOUR COLD WATER ON FIRST AND LET IT RUN UNTIL IT IS CLEAR, PREFERABLY FROM AN OUTSIDE WATER SPIGOT.
- Do not run your hot water or use your dishwasher until the water is clear.
- Do not use your washing machine – your clothes may become stained.
- Although the water is safe to drink, please avoid drinking the water if it is discolored.
- You may need to flush your toilet several times to clear the discolored water from the toilet tank.
- If you accidentally use your hot water while the water is discolored, you may have to completely flush the hot water tank to clear out the discolorations and there is a possibility that you may damage the hot water heater.
