KALONA, Iowa (KCRG) — City officials in Kalona are asking all residents and businesses north of the river to limit water usage after a water main break.

The city said it’s currently unable to pump water to the north water tower because of the break.

The city is asking people not to wash dishes or clothes, turn off irrigation or outdoor water systems, and take shorter showers.

There is no boil order in effect at this time.

The city says crews are working to repair the break, but did not say when work is expected to be completed.
