Press release:
The City of Batavia Water Department is repairing a water main break at the intersection of Liberty Street and Ellicott Street. Expect the water to be shut off on Ellicott Street, from Liberty Street to Jackson Street. There is the potential that the water may need to be shut off on Liberty Street, from Ellicott Street heading north to Main Street.
The length of time the water will be off is unknown.
Traffic will not be able to pass through the Ellicott Street intersection coming off of Liberty Street in both directions while the repairs are being made.
As always, when the water is restored it may be discolored. Please refrain from doing any laundry until the water runs clear.
The public’s patience is greatly appreciated.
UPDATE: Photo by Howard Owens. The problem is a busted valve. Crews were just about to get started at about 10:15 p.m.
