(Update) Downtown water service repairs to continue Wednesday

4th-and-jules1A problematic water valve affected water service in the downtown area Tuesday. A utility spokeswoman says the repairs will continue Wednesday.

Christie Barnhart of Missouri American Water says a team is working to replace the broken valve near Sixth and Jules streets (correct).

Barhnart says there are currently no customers without water service, and there wont’ be any on Wednesday, but some may experience a dip in water pressure.

“There could be a very isolated area of low pressure,” Barnart said. “I don’t know what that area will be specifically. That’s something they’ll determine when they show up on scene.”

Water customers from Fourth to Ninth streets, between Felix and Franklin, were affected by the balky valve bear Sixth and Jules.
