Repairs to a water shutoff valve in Lockesburg, Ark., will start about 7 p.m. today, causing water service to be disrupted.

Water will be unavailable when the water line repair starts, said Lockesburg Mayor Danny Ruth.

“The water will be back on as soon as possible. Customers are urged to draw water for drinking and flushing commodes,” said Ruth.

“I’m sorry for any inconvenience this might cause, and I hope it will be a very short outage,” he said.
