The Bangor Water District is responding to a leak on Cedar Street.
From the Bangor Water District:
The water main break on Cedar will require a Boil Water Notice for the addresses below as we cannot guarantee the water main had positive pressure during the repair. We currently have staff members hand-delivering notices to affected customers. If you are in the boil water area, here is our plan to return to normal operation. We expect to have the water main repaired this afternoon. Once the main is repaired, we will attempt to remove air from the line. Removing air will be difficult on this break due to elevation changes in the area. You may find some air in your line when water service is restored. Water can trap air pockets which may cause water to sputter, hiss, or become cloudy when you run a faucet. If you hear or see this, please run a cold water tap for a few minutes until it clears. It may take a few days to remove all the air in the water main, and it may come and go. After we remove the air we can, we will take three water samples from different areas in the boil water notice zone. To process those samples, they are stored in an incubator for 18 hours in our lab before testing to ensure the water is safe to consume. Once the samples indicate the water is safe to consume, we will post, Boil Water Notice LIFTED on each door, and to Facebook.
