Lewis anticipated it will be 4 to 5 hours to complete the repairs.

He said more than just McAlee is experiencing brown water in the neighborhood this morning.

On Wednesday, DPW Director Lewis said the McAlee water main is from 1945.

“There’s been at least 3 other breaks on the same section of pipe,” said Director Lewis to SOURCE Wednesday morning.

“We are looking to replace that pipe in the next couple of years,” said Lewis.
