Approximately 800 homes and two businesses (Tiny Tikes Academy and Building Dreams Preschool) have been impacted. The affected boundaries are north to the L2 canal, south to Belvedere Road, east to Congress Avenue and west to Quail Drive.

Utilities crews responded at 10 a.m. today to a call for a broken water main. The repairs were completed and water was restored by 2 p.m.
