UPDATE:

Repairs were under way Friday on a major leak that impacted the Geary County Rural Water District One on the west and southwest sides of Junction City.

Water District Operator Mick McCallister said it occurred where the City’s master meter to the district hooks up on the corner of Ash and Spring Valley Road. The entire manifold had to be rebuilt.

McCallister expected the water service to be restored in the late afternoon – early evening time frame. He reminded the users to run cold water until the line becomes clear.

There is a water leak Rural Water District #1 Geary County. That water line serves patrons on Spring Valley Rd. and Old Hwy 40 including the Geary County Senior Center.  This is an emergency repair.

The water to the district will be turned off at 8:00am Today ( Friday ).

The repairs will be made by Junction City Public Works and J&K Contracting between 8:00am and 8:00pm on Friday.  Please be aware that when turned back on the water may have a slight discoloration. This can be cleared by running your cold water only until it clears. Refrain from doing laundry until the water clears.

The Rural District One Operator Mick McCallister said officials are sorry for the inconvenience but the only way to make repairs is to disrupt water service. Please have patience and they will restore water service as soon as possible. McCallister thanked the public for their understanding and patience.
