City Water Department discovers water leak is on 55th Street

Crews have isolated the effected area of a water leak that has caused a reduction of water

pressure in east Minot. The exact location is still unknown, however, the City of Minot

Water Department has discovered that the leak is between County Road 12 and 11th Avenue SE.

“We know it’s on 55th Street,” said Assistant Public Works Director Jason Sorenson. “We

have rerouted water west of 55th to serve those residents as we continue looking, but

when we find the exact location there may be interrupted service.”

Residents in this area will see a decrease in pressure as water is redirected.

Water service was restored to residents in that area at 8:30 a.m. today as

crews test several valves. When the leak is located crews will need to shut down service

to several homes to repair any damage. The timeline of possible disrupted service will not

be known until the leak is identified.

Residents should continue to check the City of Minot website or social media accounts

for updates throughout the day.

The City of Minot can be found on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
