City of Vicksburg Water Department crews are working to find the source of a leak in the Holly Street area near International House of Peace Worship Church.
City officials issued a citywide alert about the problem about 6 p.m. Sunday through its emergency communications system.
Mayor George Flaggs Jr. said workers will be able to maintain pressure in the line during repairs and no boil water notice is expected.
Ward 1 Alderman Michael Mayfield, who is over the city’s public works and utilities departments, said he was notified of the break about 4 p.m. He said the affected line is either an 8-inch or 12-inch line.
“We won’t know for sure until we are able to dig it up,” he said. “We’re right on top of it.”
