EAST MOLINE, Ill. (KWQC) — A large water main break in East Moline has caused industrial towers to be significantly drained.

According to the city, the water main break is near the corner of 7th Street and 12th Avenue.

The city will be interconnecting with Moline at the top of the hill and once the break is isolated, they will interconnect with Moline at the bottom of the hill, the city said. Due to that, the water may taste slightly different.

Residents may temporarily experience low water pressure or no water, the city said.

This is a developing story. KWQC will update on-air and online.
