Subject: RE: Notice of water system improvement project this Sunday night

The city is planning to replace two in-operable water valves on the 16-inch main in fort ave (1 location just north of Webb street, the other in the intersection of fort, memorial and derby).

the work will take place this Sunday night, starting at 8 pm and should be complete by 6 am Monday morning.

Because we expect water service disruption to the immediate area and the willows neighborhood, we will be sending out a code-red call below and posting information on the city’s website, as follows:

“this code-red call is to inform you that the city is planning a water system shutdown for this Sunday evening to make improvements to the overall water system in your area.

the water system will be shut down from Webb street to the willows, starting at 8 pm Sunday, April 12, until 6 am Monday morning.

this shutdown will allow the city to replace two inoperable valves on fort ave.

at some time during the night, you may loose water to your home/business, but it you service should be restored by 6 am on Monday.

if you experience brown water at any time, please run the water, from the lowest possible faucet in your home, until the water runs clear.

we apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you may incur during this project.

the city appreciates your patience and forbearance during this important water improvement project.

if you have the opportunity, please share this information with your neighbors who may not have received this call.”
