This afternoon, the Dept. of Public Works posted a notice to Facebook warning about work that may impact some residents on Overlook Drive tomorrow. 

The DPW posted:

Water main leak from DPW facebook postWater Dept. will be locating and repairing a leak on Overlook Drive tomorrow, Thursday 2/19.

Residents on Overlook may have no water from 9am to possibly 5pm if work cannot be done without shutting down the water main.

Notices were left today at homes, on overlook, if residents were not home. Notices contained tips on the steps to take when water is back on to avoid any plumbing issues.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
