City officials have notified affected residents in person or via door-hanger notices. A press release has also been issued, and local media outlets were informed prior to the repair.
This work is part of a broader waterline rehabilitation program, which includes the installation of new 6-inch water lines by private contractors. While the inconvenience is temporary, the upgrades aim to improve long-term water service reliability.
