UPDATE: Water main break expected to be repaired by afternoon

Galesburg city crews are continuing to repair a “large” water main break on the 2000 block of Windish Dr., but the problem should be fixed by later today.

That’s according to Water Department Account Clerk Kim Groper who says it’s likely that much of the north side of Galesburg has rusty water. Water has also been shutoff on the 2000th block of Windish. 

Groper adds that a boil order is not in effect at this time, and that crews are expected to have the problem resolved by this afternoon. 

The cause of the break remains unknown. At the scene, significant amounts of water could be seen spilling over onto pavement as crews continue to salt slick spots.
