Rockwell City Water Disconnected For A Short Time To Service Valves

Residents in Rockwell City were without water for a short time Monday for some repairs to the city’s water system. City workers needed to stop the water’s flow to allow them to access the pipes according to Rockwell City Clerk, Kelly Smidt.

Smidt says those valves needed to be replaced due to the regular wear and tear of providing citizens with water. The water was turned off for about 90 minutes beginning at 2 p.m. City employees readied for the repairs during the morning to limit disruptions.

Two more valves in the system need maintenance, but the two replaced Monday were the easiest to exchange without a more troublesome service disconnect. Those other valves will be replaced during summer 2017.
