The Big Rapids Department of Public Works will be working on a scheduled water main tie-in on Tuesday, Mar. 31.

Residences on the 900-1000 block of Loudon Street will be affected by a temporary water shut off. While there isn't an official start time for the construction, sesidents will be notified about one hour before the interruption occurs.

"We recommend that you store enough water in advance for drinking, cooking, and hygiene needs, avoid using water during the shutdown period, and turn off appliances that rely on water," Depatment of Public Works said in a notice.

If anyone notices discoloration or air in the water following the work, it is reccomended to run cold water from the faucet for several minutes until it clears.
