Loss of water pressure - Willow Springs

Certain Town of Monument water customers in the Willow Springs Subdivision may have experienced a sudden loss of water pressure and/or supply for a short period of time this morning. This was caused by a vehicle accident in which a fire hydrant was struck. The Town of Monument Water Department responded, isolated the area, and restored water pressure within minutes of the incident occurring. However, the sudden change in pressure may have caused a slight discoloration of water in the area. In this case, please flush water through your household system for a short period of time to clear out the service lines. The water supply is safe to drink. Should you have any questions or concerns, please call 719-424-0846 to contact the Town’s on-call water operator or email waterbilling@tomgov.org
