The mayor says crews are currently troubleshooting the problem.

Once water has been restored, the city will be under a boil advisory until further notice.

We reached out to the Mayor’s Office for a statement.

According to representative Yvonne Lewis, they believe the water plant is having a communication issue between the high service pump and one of the elevated tanks.
