Before service can be restored crews still need to flush out the pipe, some of which needed to be replaced.
Once water does come back on, residents should continue to boil it for a minute over the next 48 hours prior to consumption.
The advisory is estimated to last until Friday, allowing for several water samples to be taken.
UPDATE: As of 6:45 a.m. repairs to the 20’ inch water main were completed. Crews are on the scene flushing the pipe before water services can resume in the impacted areas.
