WATER MAIN LEAK ON E. CLARA ST. (BETWEEN DAHL AVE. & GILL AVE.)
July 22, 2024

The City’s Water Division is in the process of repairing a water main on E. Clara Street between Dahl Ave. and Gill Ave.

This incident may cause some residents to experience brown water due to the opening and closing of the distribution valves. Our goal is to limit the impact placed upon our customers during this emergency shutdown. We will do everything possible to restore service to this area as quickly as possible. Any questions please feel free to call the water division at 986-6563.

If you are experiencing discolored water, please be patient, it is only a temporary condition. As a precaution only, the City is asking affected residence to temporarily drink bottled water and discontinue the use of washing machines until the discolored water has cleared. Running a water hose outside to water plants or the lawn for a few minutes will help clear up the discolored water.

If required, the City will take water quality samples for bacteriological testing to assure the water is safe.

If clothes were washed and are discolored, the Water Division has commercial products that may remove the discoloration of the laundry provided they have not been dried.
