Due to a leaking water valve replacement, Public Works needs to turn the water off on areas of Fox Street, Duke Street, and Hopson Street to complete the repairs, on Thursday, August 6 from approximately 9am-4pm.

Public Works went door-to-door in the area to inform residents and we appreciate everyone's cooperation and patience. It is recommended that residents in the affected area turn off hot water systems as this outage continues.

Once the water service is returned, we suggest running a cold water faucet into your bathtub or sink in case of any air discoloration until it runs normally.
