Cedar Park city officials are asking residents to limit outdoor and nonessential water use until further notice after a water transmission line broke June 12.
A residential construction crew damaged a 36-inch water transmission line at Lakeline and Buttercup Creek boulevards. Certain Lakeline Boulevard lanes are closed while repairs are made.
The city is using alternate water lines to supply the city, according to a news release issued by the city, but the amount of water available to Cedar Park residents is greatly reduced due to the broken line.
Repairs are expected to take 48 hours, the release states. Less than one dozen residents are without water due to the broken line, but temporary services are expected to be provided until a permanent fix is in place, according to the release.
Water is still safe for use and consumption, the release states, and enough water is available as mandatory restrictions are honored.
More information will be provided as it is made available.
