Homewood water service outage scheduled for Thursday night: What to know
Water service for customers in Homewood will be turned off Thursday night as crews complete infrastructure work.
Workers with Central Alabama Water, formerly known of the Birmingham Water Works Board will replace two 8-inch valves.
The outage is expected to begin at 11 p.m. Thursday through 6 a.m. Friday.
About 76 service connections will be affected. Replacing the valves will improve water pressure in the area, officials said.
Crews will begin work at Tamworth Lane and Devon Drive.
Affected streets include:
- Devon Drive
- Rumson Road
- Tamworth Lane
- Windsor Drive
- A portion of U.S. Highway 280
Customers during the outage may experience low water pressure or temporary loss of water service.
Once service is restored, customers are advised to run cold water through their faucets for five minutes to flush pipes if they experience air in their plumbing or brown water.
