An emergency water shutdown has been issued for portions of Patterson Street and Van Buren Avenue due to a pipeline requiring immediate repair, according to a notice from the city.
The shutdown affects Patterson Street from Van Buren Avenue to Eccles Avenue, as well as Van Buren Avenue from 30th Street south to the dead end.
Service restoration is estimated for 4:30 PM on Friday, October 30, 2026.
Hydrants in the affected area will be impacted. Residents may experience discolored water as a result of the shutdown. In such instances, officials recommend running a cold water faucet in a bathtub until the water clears to help flush home water lines.
To prevent issues, it is recommended that residents do not use hot water or wash light-colored laundry until the water runs clear.
Water crews will flush lines in the area once the emergency repairs are finished. Residents should notify officials if discolored water persists after the repairs are complete.
