In a Facebook post, the city said officials have isolated the cause of the leak and that water pressure is increasing for the city.

Given the amount of water lost, city officials ask residents to conserve water for the next 24-48 hours.

Earlier in the morning, officials said that the leak may affect water pressure to residents in the southwest part of the city.

No boil order has been issued, and the city said that traffic will not be affected.
