Emergency outage – Division and Knapp Street area

At 4 pm Sat afternoon, July 28, there was a line break on private property off Knapp Street.  We had to shut off the Division St pump station as efforts to isolate this line failed.  The landowners and crew are working on the repair now.  If the quick fix works, the line will be back up later tonight or in the morning.  If we have to dig up the line, we’ll bring a crew in Sunday morning to get started on that repair.

UPDATE:  6:30 pm.  Repair is complete and will need to sit overnight for  glue to hold.  Will be turned back on Sunday AM.
