At the December 13 Bluffton council meeting, Assistant Village Administrator Bryan Lloyd explained why some Bluffton residents noticed discolored water beginning on Friday, December 10.
Lloyd detailed that the main 16" plastic water pipe from Ottawa had been hit by a utility crew on Road M around 11 a.m. that day. Following EPA guidelines and under the agency's supervision, the break was immediately isolated with shutoff valves and a repair was made. The line was reopened after flushing. Village crews flushed at numerous other locations as well.
As a result, a boil water advisory was not needed.
