HMG-CN has been told by Cerritos residents that a water main broke last night somewhere near city hall. Other information is not available at this time but one resident texted HMG-CN and said, “my water is brown, our rates just went up and I am getting brown water. They told us it would be 7-8 hours to fix.”
The resident texted HMG-CN at 7:30 a.m.
HMG-CN will update when available.
UPDATE:
The break is at 183rd and Bloomfield, in talking to Water Dept., they “still do not know where the break is.” A large portion of the city is affected, and city hall is getting swamped with calls.
The city is looking at 7-8 hours to fix.
Many residents complaining that the city should have an automated phone notification system to let residents who can’t go online know what is join on.
