Residents in Kewanee along New Street and High Street experienced an unexpected water outage on Friday due to a water main repair on West Third Street.

Residents are urged to bring tap water to a rolling boil for at least one minute before use for consumption. The precaution will remain in place until water quality test results are received, a process expected to take 24 to 48 hours.
