Final water tie-in on Ritchie requires a water outage for those west of Garden Circle (64 Ritchie) to 151 Ritchie for 4-8 hours beginnning at 8 am on Thursday, January 17, 2019.  This tie-in will complete the water main portion of the Ritchie project.  Storm sewers, curb, and roadway work remains.
 
After the initial time estimate, Wyoming Water Works typically will not issue a “Water back in service” notice.  We ask that residents check their service occasionally during the outage and, when water is restored, follow the suggested procedure below: 
                                                                                                                      After water is restored, Wyoming Water Works will flush the affected water main(s) for water clarity and safety.  Then, we will monitor for chlorine residual and, in some cases, sample for bacteriological contamination.  Wyoming Water works recommends that property owners in the shutdown area also flush their internal plumbing fixtures to remove any potential contaminants that may have resulted from the water disruption. This will also clear up any discolored or brown water (due to iron).  We recommend that you flush your service line from an outside faucet first until it clears up.  Then proceed to flush all inside faucets or fixtures.  This entire procedure should take no more than 5-10 minutes, depending on the number of fixtures.  We also recommend refraining from washing laundry within 24 hours of the repair.
