Main St. in Cortez and left some businesses in the area without water.<\/p>\n<p>Drivers should expect delays near Roger Smith Avenue and East Main Street, near Ziggi\u2019s Coffee and the Quality Inn, the city of Cortez said in an alert about 5:15 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>According to the city of Cortez, the break would affect water in a roughly three-block area, and some users would notice dirty tap water. A block away, however, the McDonald\u2019s restaurant at 1322 E. Main St. was operating and sending fresh coffee out its drive-thru windows. Ziggi\u2019s was not yet operating by 7:15 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>Cortez City Hall, at 123 Roger Smith Ave., a block north of the break, reported that it had running water, and Pam Imm, assistant clerk at Municipal Court, said court would be in session.<\/p>\n<p>The Cortez Service Center hoped to have the line repaired by 4 p.m. Monday, the city announced on its Facebook page.<\/p>\n<p><figure class=\"wp-block-image naviga-inline-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/imengine.public.prod.dur.navigacloud.com\/?uuid=d5ad7dab-b081-5b5b-a096-b61dba2caf4c&amp;function=cover&amp;type=preview&amp;source=false&amp;width=2000\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1856\" alt=\"A water main break early Monday morning  at 1200 E.
