\u201cWhile crews will work to restore service as quickly as possible, unexpected issues may extend the outage,\u201d the city said in an announcement. \u201cWe appreciate your patience as these important infrastructure repairs are completed.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the repair, some residents may experience temporary cloudiness or turbidity in their water, but the city noted that this is normal following valve work. The water will clear \u201cas the system stabilizes,\u201d the city said.<\/p>\n
