Public works staff will be distributing information via door hangers at each residence affected by the water shutoff.

Residents in the wider area may experience a change in water color quality due to a disruption in the system, officials said. If water is discolored, residents should run it from a faucet on the lowest level of the house until it runs clear.

Officials did not immediately provide further information about the water main break.
