ALPENA — A water main break late Monday afternoon caused a disruption of water service for a portion of Alpena and low water pressure in a large segment of the city.
City and Surez crews were able to locate and remedy the break and service was restored.
According city engineer Rich Sullenger a 24 inch water main ruptured at the intersection of Ripley Boulevard and First Avenue.
The city shut down water service to repair the pipe, which caused an outage for some in the general vicinity.
“We have the water plant running at full production and the crews are working at replacing it,” Sullenger said.
“It was a large break and some people were without service, but things should be back to normal once it is replaced.” In the past after major water and sewer repairs were made the city has issued a boil water advisory, but Sullenger said it was too early to tell if that would be needed in this instance.
I’m not sure,”Sullenger said.

MONTROSE, MI – A loss of water pressure overnight has led Montrose officials to declare a boil water advisory for all city residents.
The large-scale depressurization took place on the water main along M-57 which may have allowed bacteria into the city’s system.

– If you think it’s easy to run a restaurant kitchen without potable water, think again.
George Haddad and his wife Jackie have been dishing it out for decades at the Red Carpet Restaurant on Park Street in Adams.
"I think the biggest effect is the people aren’t coming," George Haddad stated.
"If we catch another full weekend, it’s going to start hurting financially."
Meanwhile, over at the Visitors Center, before the weekend began, they began distributing 252 cases of bottled water that someone donated.
Cody Stojba, 11, was playing with friends Monday afternoon, awaiting the start of school next week.
He says last week he drank lots of water to hydrate himself at football practice, and guess what happened?
He wasn’t the only one in town who got sick.
"My fiancee was sick, I was sick, and my children were sick," said Christian Carnes, an Adams resident.
George Haddad says he’s sick of the aggravation.

By Scott StaffordThe Berkshire Eagle ADAMS — All water tests taken since the boil water order was issued Thursday have come up clear of any contaminants, but for now the advisory remains in effect until the state officially removes it, according to John Barrett, superintendent of the Adams Fire District.
He said the notice could come today but cautioned that the boil order is still in effect for now.
The issue started when samples taken on Aug. 20 came back the next day with an E. coli presence detected in the town water tank, Barrett said.
Resampling was done that day on the tank and the surrounding water system, and the results issued on Wednesday showed no signs of E. coli but did show the presence of total coliform bacteria at two homes adjacent to the water tank, which automatically sparked the boil water order.
He noted that all of these actions are required by DEP regulations.
All samples since then, Barrett noted, have been clear of any contaminants after being tested in a state lab.
Restaurants were hit especially hard.
As a result of this incident, the town and the fire district, which has authority over the water system, will be examining ways to improve communication between both organizations, and communications to town residents in emergency situations.
The town government has no authority over the Adams Fire District, noted John Duval, chairman of the Adams Select Board.
"The town and the fire district have to meet so we can have a plan for such incidents in the future," Duval said.
