Water main break affects Leitchfield Road area

OMU crews are currently repairing a 10-inch main break that affects customers in the Leitchfield Road area. We will provide updates as we work to restore service.

Customers in the 1300-1700 blocks of Leitchfield Road, 1800-1900 block of East 15th Street and 1502 Alexander Avenue are affected.

We anticipate that repairs will take several hours. A boil water advisory (BWA) has been issued.

As a reminder, a BWA is simply an advisory that is issued when a water line (main) is opened whether it be for repairs or maintenance. Customers should not be concerned as this does not mean a contaminant has been identified in the water, but are advised to boil water for drinking at a rolling boil for three minutes.

Update: The BWA for the area affected by yesterday’s water outage has been lifted as of 10 a.m. on Friday, January 24, 2025. Customers will be notified via door hangers providing additional information.
