City of Gallup water customers will be impacted by a water line break at the intersection of Second Street and Maloney on March 15.
While the Gallup Water Department excavates and makes repairs, there may be discolored water beginning at North First Street heading east to the Pantry. Customers may also experience low water pressure or no water coming out of the faucet.
Surrounding areas may also experience low water pressure.
The City of Gallup reports that most of the North Side will experience a yellowish tint in the water due to naturally occurring minerals that get stirred up in the iron pipe of the water main.
Authorities emphasize there is no impact to public health.
Residents can pick up bottled water at Gallup Fire Station Number 2 at 911 W. Lincoln Ave.
If you have impaired mobility and need water delivered, please call (505) 726-2050.
Customers may "self-flush" their lines by turning on cold water, full force from the bathtub faucet until the water runs clear again. Customers are advised not to run hot water, as stirred up sediment could damage their water heaters The self-flush process takes approximately 15 minutes to conduct.
If you continue to experience the water discoloration, call Utility Dispatch at (505) 863-1200, or the Water Department at (505) 879-5722.
