CU says no boil water advisory is required at this time, and the water is safe to drink while crews make repairs.

However, some customers in northeast Springfield may notice lingering cloudy or discolored water. If you see this, CU says you can clear the discoloration by flushing your faucet for 10–15 minutes. If the water doesn’t clear up, CU asks you to call 417‑863‑9000.

Water crews will be flushing water in the affected portions of the system to help remove discoloration. CU says it hopes to have it complete by the end of the day Sunday.
