Repairs to road and water mains that broke Wednesday in Sedalia have been completed, according to a Thursday social media post from the city.
Water mains broke at the 1400 block of South State Fair Boulevard, the State Fair Shopping Center and the 1400 block of West 16th Street. A break that caused pavement damage to West 16th Street was reported around 7 p.m. Wednesday.
“Water main breaks are common during periods of extremely cold temperatures and can occur throughout the winter,” a Wednesday post says.
Final repairs were made at 2:30 a.m. Thursday, according to the post.
“Following completion, crew members went door to door to speak directly with affected residents about a recommended 24-hour boil advisory, and left door hangers for those who were not home. The crew then volunteered to remain on site until 12:00 p.m. today to monitor conditions and ensure no additional issues occurred before heading home from a 28-hour workday,” the post says.
