City crews work from early morning to mid morning to repair water main on State Street

By Howard B. Owens

There was a water main break on State Street between Denio and Douglas at 3 a.m. and water service was cut for some residence in the area pending repairs. 

During the repairs, the decades-old shut-off valve broke, and so once DPW workers repaired the break, they had to dig up the valve and replace it.

Update from Matt Worth, superintendent of water and wastewater:

Water main repair has been completed on State Street and water service restored.  Residents in the immediate area should be aware that they may experience some discolored water and should avoid laundry or other activities which may be impacted by this condition until water clarity has returned to normal.
