Water service should be fully restored soon to residents near Reading after a water main break recently.
Water was shut down Monday evening after leakage was noticed in a creek crossing near the town. Between 20 to 30 customers along Road 240 near Roads W and Y have been impacted, both by the initial shutdown and a related shutdown Tuesday morning to replace a valve and possibly conduct other maintenance.
It took about two hours for water service to be largely restored Monday night. Lyon County Rural Water District No. 5 anticipates all necessary repairs should be done by late afternoon.
