UPDATE
The City of Robinson is implementing mandatory outdoor water restrictions.
According to officials, while repairing the damage, crews encountered an issue with finding locally the correct parts needed for repairs. The specific pipe needed for the repair is not a common type of pipe carried locally, so it has to be special-ordered.
This will delay the final repairs until Thursday.
"The city water crew has managed to find a way to restore water service to our customers temporarily, however, since this line was a main transmission line to our water distribution system, in order to continue meeting customer demands during this temporary fix, mandatory outdoor water restrictions will be in place," the city said on Facebook.
"This means no outside watering until the line can be properly repaired — we are hoping these final repairs will be completed by Thursday evening, as long as we do not encounter any other issues."
"We understand the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. We will continue to share updates, if any become available."
