Crews under the supervision of Public Works Superintendent Daryl Bunch worked through freezing, wet conditions to repair a water main break at 154th and Dobson, and an unidentified speaker said Thursday evening that water service was expected to be fully restored "within the hour."
The announcement, read by an unidentified speaker, said crews also removed a tree to gain safe access to the damaged main and that repairs were nearly complete. "As of this evening, repairs are nearly complete and water service is expected to be fully restored within the hour," the speaker said.
The repair work was led, the announcement said, by Public Works Superintendent Daryl Bunch; crews worked throughout the day amid freezing temperatures and wet conditions. The statement thanked residents for their patience and thanked the public works team "for their dedication and hard work in keeping Dolton running."
The town did not provide a specific timestamp for full restoration beyond the announcement's estimate. The timeline for restoration was described as approximate in the announcement; residents should expect brief interruptions until crews confirm service is fully restored.
This was a service update rather than a formal council action; no motions or votes were recorded in the announcement. The most recent status from the announcement is that repairs were nearly complete and restoration was expected imminently.
