The City of Beacon has begun issuing updates to the water main break repair:

“UPDATE (5:30 p.m.): City crews have completed the replacement of the water main segment that experienced the break, which has caused low pressure or loss of water across much of the City. Crews are slowly re-pressurizing the water lines, and we hope to have water restored in the next hour or two absent some additional break.

“We apologize for the inconvenience and will issue further updates on this page and our website as additional information is available. If you're experiencing discoloration of your water, please run the cold water until the water runs clear.”

“UPDATE (4:00pm): City crews have made progress in replacing the water main that experienced the break, which has caused low pressure or loss of water across much of the City. We are hopeful that water service will be restored late this evening, but there is still a lot of work to do. We apologize for the inconvenience and will issue further updates on this page and our website as additional information is available.

“NOTICE: Water service along parts of Fishkill Avenue, from Conklin Street towards the Town of Fishkill, will experience disruption today due to continued work in repairing a water main break. We apologize for the inconvenience and will work to restore service as soon as possible.

“Once water is available again, run cold taps until water runs clear. Thank you for your patience while this emergency repair work is completed.”
