The full email from the company is below:
KWSC crews have been out all night working on repairing the break at the intersection of Boys Ranch Rd and Lois Ln, this area is at the beginning of our concrete transmission line. As you know, we had to valve off Ivy Mountain (our main tank) in order to lower the pressure in the line. This is a high pressure area that can lead to dangerous accidents with dire consequences for our crew if left on during repair. The contractors to weld the concrete line are on site and the replacement pipe is on order, it should arrive around noon today and repairs will be underway then. Water service should be restored sometime this evening barring any further complications.
Please remember we are under a system wide boil notice once water service is restored.
Several Kempner Water Supply Corporation customers have called 25News stating that there water has been shut-off since Tuesday night.
