Water service on Babe Ruth Drive will be temporarily suspended during the hours of 8 am-3 pm (approx.) allowing for water main construction. Outage duration is a best estimate based on past water infrastructure events it is not an exact time. Households located on Babe Ruth Drive should make arrangements to be without water during this period.
What to expect once water is restored? Those in close proximity to this area of town may experience fluctuating pressure (air in pipes) or discolored water (mineral sediment lifting from the bottom of the pipes and traveling with the water-flow inside the main.) Once water is restored running a cold tap briefly will assist in clearing your service line of air and minerals.
Is the water safe to drink? Slight discoloration may sometimes linger for a few hours, it is not harmful to your health and only temporarily affects the appearance of the water, it does not influence water quality. Water conditions typically improve overnight.

Outages:
Periodic planned water outages may be necessary. Those located near to this quadrant of town are advised to sign-up to receive important alerts via Reverse-911
