MANITOU SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) — Water service to a southern Colorado neighborhood will be temporarily shut off Monday due to a reported water issue.

According to the City of Manitou Springs, the Water Department identified a water issue affecting the Grand Avenue area. Water service to this neighborhood will shut off from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The shut-off will be part of an assessment to confirm the source and prevent further damage. The city said crews will determine whether the leak originates from a City water main or a private service line.

According to the city, residents in and around Grand Avenue should expect intermittent water service disruptions, low pressure, or temporary outages.

Once service is restored, some residents may experience water discoloration. If this occurs, city officials said run cold water from the bathtub or the lowest faucet in your home for five minutes, or until the water runs clear.

The city urges residents and visitors to use caution when traveling in the area while crews work throughout the neighborhood.
