A water main has broken under North Astor Street between Main Street and Bridge Street. Customers along North Astor Street are without water. Water Department personnel are making the necessary preparations to repair the main overnight tonight beginning at about 7 p.m. When the repairs are made, water to a wider section of lower Main Street, including the buildings across the tracks, will be without water. The wider area is expected to encompass the north side of Main Street from North Dutcher Street down to North Astor Street and across the tracks. Every effort will be made to minimize the amount of time that customers are without water, but customers should anticipate being out of water for up to 8 hours starting at 7 p.m. tonight.
