Water main break repairs underway on Bath Street in Carson City
Carson City Public Works experienced a water main break on Bath Street between Mountain Street and Division Street at approximately 5:30 a.m. Thursday morning.
Crews restored normal water system operation as of 8 a.m. Temporary street repairs to Bath Street are currently underway and are expected to be completed by the end of business today.
Residents in the general area bounded by Ivy Street, Division Street, Long Street and Mountain Street may expect to experience discolored water through Thursday afternoon.
The discoloration is caused by naturally occurring minerals which accumulate in the water system; it is not harmful. Residents should avoid washing light colored laundry if their water is discolored.
