Low water pressure in Gentry East
Low water pressure in Gentry East
Have been experiencing low water pressure for a few hours.
The construction crew working on fiber optics in my neighborhood hit a waterline in front of my house. Crews were on my street until almost 10pm last night fixing it. I woke up this morning and I have no water in my kitchen. The water that I do have in my bathrooms is dirty….literally specks of dirt in the water. So I have no drinkable water and do not want to shower in water with dirt in it. We were not told to boil water. I even asked the workers last night if we were going to be on a boil water advisory and they said no. I am including a picture of the dirt left in my bathroom sink after running some water. This needs to be fixed today, I cannot wait until Monday.

Water pressure is low at this location.
We have a loss of water pressure, down about 60%, and wonder if the city is experiencing issues.
I noticed tonight that water is really spouting up out of the sidewalk at the southwest corner of Kirkwood & Washington; it appears to be coming from a small iron plate in the sidewalk that looks like the old style in-ground water meter, but it's smaller than those in front of homes. Just FYI.
