Jasper Water work to impact several blocks

Jasper Water Utility customers in the area of Jackson Street from 8th to 15th Street and one block west to Main Street from 13th to 14th Street will have their water shut off on Monday, May 13 from 10 p.m. until 2 a.m. the next day.

The utility will be repairing a broken water valve in the area.

“We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause,” the utility stated in a notice. “After repairs are made you may experience discolored water or air in your service lines. To fix this, turn on your cold water tap and run for a period of ten minutes.”

During this time, a boil order will be issued until further notice. The boil order will last at least 48 hours or until two consecutive water samples pass our testing.

Residents affected are asked to boil their water for 5 minutes before human and pet consumption. The water is safe for bathing.

This work will be completed weather permitting.
