Update On Water Line Breaks In North Mesa

by

COUNTY News:

As of 7 p.m. today, water has been restored to customers on Alamo Road. 

Crews continue to work to repair the water line on Camino Redondo and estimate water pressure to be restored to these customers by 8:15 p.m. today.

DPU offers the following consideration to customers when water is restored: 

  • Water may at first appear murky due to entrained air. This problem will resolve itself in a day or so.
  • For a day or two there may be a small amount of sediment or rust in the water that has been stirred up from the bottom of the water main.  While aesthetically unpleasant, it does not pose a health risk.
