Crews will now be able to keep appropriate valves closed and gradually restore water to non-impacted areas. Water to The Pines neighborhood will be restored shortly. Once the exact valves for shutoff are known, crews can more accurately assess the situation and provide an update on the repair needed and estimated time for full restoration.
