Crews are working to repair a broken drinking water valve and fire line connection under Lancaster Highway.

No customers are without water but city officials say the repair is difficult and required a special part be shipped to complete the work.

Traffic is being detoured during the repair and drivers should also consider alternate routes.

Friday, a temporary valve will be installed on the water line, and the permanent valve should be in place by Sunday.

Depending on the weather, repaving may begin as early as Monday.
