Detours were in place and drivers were asked to avoid the area.

"Some businesses in the area may experience low water pressure. If needed, affected addresses will be issued a drinking water advisory," the news release said.

Businesses were asked to avoid heavy water use until further notice.

"Activities such as handwashing and appliance use are allowed. A pressure-drop will be noticeable at the tap," the city said.
