It has been an unwelcome Monday morning for water mains in the City of Humboldt.

City officials are reporting multiple breaks in the water lines:

  • 500 block of 9th Street
  • 100 block of 10th Street
  • 900 block of 14th Street (service to homes from 5th to 10th Avenue on 14th Street will be affected due to old valves)
  • 500 block of Main Street

Water in those areas is being turned off, as the city works to isolate the breaks for assessment.

Once an assessment is completed, repairs will then begin on the breaks.

In the meantime, a drinking water advisory has been issued for both areas, with yellow door hangers being placed for residents in the impact zone.

Those affected can take containers to the Uniplex to access a clean water supply.
