Extended Water Conservation URGED
The water shortage in the city has entered its fifth day, and thousands of residents are still without water. The city’s water utility has been working around the clock to repair the broken water main that caused the shortage, but the repairs are taking longer than expected.
What is Causing the Shortage?
The water shortage is being caused by a broken water main on the city’s east side. The water main broke on Saturday, and the city’s water utility has been working to repair it ever since. The repairs are taking longer than expected because the water main is located in a difficult-to-reach area.
Who is Affected?
The water shortage is affecting thousands of residents on the city’s east side. The areas that are affected include:
- The neighborhoods of East Side, Central City, and North End
- The businesses in the downtown area
- The schools and hospitals in the affected areas
What is Being Done?
The city’s water utility is working around the clock to repair the broken water main. The utility has also set up water distribution points throughout the affected areas. Residents can get water at these distribution points by bringing their own containers.
The city is also urging residents to conserve water. Residents are asked to:
- Take shorter showers
- Turn off the water when brushing their teeth or washing their hands
- Fix any leaks in their plumbing
- Water their lawns less often
When Will the Shortage End?
The city’s water utility does not know when the water shortage will end. The utility is working as quickly as possible to repair the broken water main, but the repairs are taking longer than expected.
What Residents Can Do
Residents who are affected by the water shortage can do the following:
- Get water at the city’s water distribution points
- Conserve water
- Stay informed about the latest updates on the water shortage
Residents can get the latest updates on the water shortage by visiting the city’s website or by calling the city’s water utility.
