CUSTOMERS THAT ARE LEAVING IN
THE DISTRICT THAT MAY HAVE
EXPERIENCED LOW PRESSURE OR
WATER LOSS DUE TO THE MAIN
BREAK.
WE SPOKE WITH A MAN AFFECTED.
HE SAID HIS WATER IS BACK ON
BUT HE STILL HAS LOW PRESSURE.
HE SAID HE LEARNED ABOUT
TODAY'S OUTAGES FROM NEIGHBORS
ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
>> IT WAS JUST SORT OF
DISTURBING THAT SOMETHING AS
IMPORTANT AS ALL WATER MAIN
BREAK, WE DIDN'T GET NOTIFIED.

WE ARE TOLD SOME PEOPLE MAY
HAVE THEIR WATER RESTORED BUT
FOLKS LIVING CLOSE TO THE
BREAK, EITHER HAVE WATER
RESTORED OR IT IS MOVING AT LOW
PRESSURE.
IF YOU ARE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE
AFFECTED, CREWS ARE ASKING FOR
YOU TO BOIL YOUR WATER FOR THE
NEXT 24 HOURS.
