ST. JOSEPH, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Missouri American Water will begin work on Monday, July 25 to replace 3 water main valves on Gene Field Road. This will result in a temporary road closure expected to last until Friday, August 5.
“The valves are a critical part of the water system and can be used to redirect water flow during a main break, which can help minimize the interruption of service to our customers,” said Jody Carlson, Director of Operations Northwest Division. “These proactive investments improve our water system reliability and ability to operate efficiently.”
Gene Field Road will be closed to all traffic from Ashland Avenue east to Parallel Avenue beginning Monday, July 25.
