We have received an update regarding the Water Main breakage in Manitowoc. Cindy Carter, the Senior Manager of Business Services at MPU has told us that the break was found, but 20 homes on Hazelwood Drive, north of Madeline Lane remain without water. These customers have been without water for the past over 8 hours and may have a foot or two of water in their basement. The MPU representative said that these customers were not warned due to the emergent nature of the situation, but all customers are being contacted at this time. If you are affected by the flooding in your basement, MPU is advising that you do NOT walk through the water. Any customer who’s furnace has also gone out should contact their mechanical repair contractor.
