Water service is expected to be fully restored to residents on Thompson Road by the end of the day on Saturday. Residents living on the affected portion of Sedgwick Drive and Chelsea Green East may experience reduced water pressure until early next week.
The water main repair is expected to be completed by the end of the day on Saturday. The City of New Albany will complete a permanent pavement repair on Thompson Road at a later date.
