Water main repair in downtown Beatrice, water tower maintenance coming

BEATRICE – Beatrice water department crews were working Saturday on a break in a water main in the downtown area.

It happened at 6^th and Market and was expected to impact water service in the 100 and 200 blocks of South 6^th.   The city cautioned on their Facebook page for motorists to be wary of lane closures and traffic shifts.

The water main break affected the southbound outside lane on 6^th.

Also on water service, city officials announced some routine maintenance and restoration work will be getting underway on the city’s northeast water tower at 19^th and Jackson, this week.  Crews are expected to be on site for two to three months.  

Residents and motorists in that area may observe some water running along streets and residents may notice a slight reduction in water pressure while the work proceeds.
