As of 2:00 PM on August 4, the estimated time for completion of repairs is 4 PM, with full water service expected to be restored to all areas as the tanks refill by roughly 5 PM. Please note that there will be significant air in the lines and this will need to be released manually by our team over the next 48 hours, so please bear with us as we work to do so. Thanks again for your patience!
