There is a water line break in the City of Arcadia Trailer Park. Water will be out, but it is currently being repaired. When service is restored, run your faucets for 2 minutes, flush all toilets twice, and boil any water used for drinking for one minute. This is just a precautionary measure. A follow-up notice will be sent when the boil water precaution is lifted.

There is a water break in the area of Hickory Street near 14th Street. Possible water outages can occur from Hickory Street to E Maple Street, to N Mills and N Turner Rd. This is a large area and efforts are being made to isolate the leak. If your water service is disrupted, you should consider yourself under a boil water Notice. This means you should boil drinking water for 1 to 2 minutes. Flush all toilets and run faucets a few minutes when water service is restored.
