On Wednesday, crews for the water district, Missouri American Water, Cole County Public Works, Osage Fire Protection District and Jefferson City Fire Department worked at Wardsville Road and Lincoln University Farm to install a temporary connection with Missouri American to provide service as soon as possible to those affected.
At an emergency meeting of the water district's board of director's Wednesday afternoon, District Manager Randy Kay said the customers who now have water service are going to continue to get safe drinking water.
After service is restored, people affected by the outage will be under a boil order advisory until further notice.
As of Thursday morning water district officals report the streets under boil order are:
-Mehmert Place
-Parts of Green Meadow
-Grand Valley
-Rudy Court
-Rudy Lane
-Wardsville Road
-Moreau Terrace
-Tyler Ridge
-Clover Lane
Kay said they are asking customers limit their water use after service is restored.
Kay added that customers living on Green Meadow Road from 2237 to the LU farms will not have their water restored until the river goes down and crews can get to the valve that controls their line. The valve is now under water.
If you are an elderly or disabled customer of District 2, the district will have bottled water and gallons of distilled water available. To get these services, call the main office at 635-7011 during normal business hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or 635-5332 after regular hours.
District officials said this may be one of the most serious problems the district has ever faced.
