Due to the extreme cold temperatures, there have been a few water main breaks to report on. These breaks have been repaired and water has been restored, but due to the inclement weather, crews may not be able to repair the pavement; they will evaluate this week to determine whether temporary patches or permanent restorations can be done. Breaks occurred at: - 11024 W. National Ave. (WB) - 10930 W. Mequanico Dr. -S. 96th Street between W. Manitoba Street and W. Oklahoma Avenue Updates about past water main breaks: - 72nd & KK Pkwy. – Completed repairs, full restoration to be completed in the spring. - 7409 W KK Pkwy. – Three separate breaks occurred at this address.
