The City of Kewanee Public Works Department is waiting for a replacement valve before the contractor can replace the valve and restore water to part of the town. RegionalMediaNews spoke with Director Kevin Newton for more information regarding the water main break in the 600 block of Page Street. Kewanee Public Works doesn’t have the ability to safely replace the damaged valve without reducing water pressure at the plants, which would affect the entire town. The damaged 12-inch valve would normally need to be special ordered but one has been located and is expected to arrive in Kewanee on Monday. When the part arrives, the Contractor, who specializes in water distribution systems, can isolate the leak with specialized equipment and safely make the repair. The plan is to restore water by end-of-day Monday if all goes according to plan.
