YPSILANTI, MI - An Ypsilanti street is closed after a water main broke, city officials said Monday morning. North Huron River Drive from Forest Avenue to Lowell Street is closed while repairs are underway, the city said in a Jan. 27 social media alert.

MILWAUKEE - There have been around 100 water main breaks in a month and Milwaukee Water Works says it's unusual, but they are prepared. Milwaukee Water Works Superintendent Patrick Pauly said there have been nearly 100 water main breaks in January alone. He said that’s well above average.

A water main break that happened Monday evening in Arlington is affecting around 50 customers. The Arlington Department of Environmental Services said crews are making emergency repairs to a 6-inch water main located at 5900 Washington Blvd.

Personnel with the Dearborn Department of Public Works were in the process of repairing the leaks Sunday afternoon.

Officials say the advisory is in effect until Marietta Water has completed the appropriate testing to be confident that there is no longer a public health concern.

Once service is restored, customers who have lost water service should allow water to run through a sink or tub faucet until it is clear. In case of a water emergency, residents should also immediately report any suspected water main break by calling 311 in Baltimore City or 443-263-2220 in Baltimore County.
