In order to fix a fire hydrant break, the City has to make an emergency water shut off to fix the leak and replace the hydrant. To isolate the fire hydrant, there is an area near Fern N, 1st NE to 4th NE that is impacted by the water shut off. There is no issue of contamination with the break, though it is advised to flush your water at a tub or hose bib once the water is turned back on.

The contractors work crews and the City public work employees are on site to get this fixed as quickly as possible. Currently, it is an estimated 2 hours until the water is turned back on. Please give the contractors and public work crews your support by letting them work uninterrupted, as this will expedite the repair process.
