City To Replace Water Valve On 11th Street

The Beaumont Water Utilities Department will disrupt water service at the intersection of 11^th St and Washington Blvd on Wednesday, May 24 starting at 8pm and concluding on Thursday, May 25 at 8am to replace a 20 inch water valve.

Customers in the affected area (see attached map) are advised to boil their water after the valve replacement project is complete. The water should be brought to a vigorous, rolling boil and then boiled for two (2) minutes. In lieu of boiling, customers may purchase bottled water or obtain water from some other suitable source. The City will notify customers once the boil water notice has been rescinded.

The intersection of Washington Blvd and 11^th St will be closed and traffic detoured for the duration of the valve replacement project. Motorists are encouraged to follow all traffic signs.
