According to the city's announcement, as part of Mandan's Street Improvement District 235 project, crews will temporarily shut down the main water line serving Lohstreter Road on July 22 to repair a valve and connect a new water main on 17th Avenue NW. The outage is expected to begin around 9 a.m. and last fewer than four hours. Residents are advised to turn off water-using devices beforehand to prevent potential damage. The affected area includes Lohstreter Road between Marilyn Drive/16th Avenue NW and north of Union Loop/Lincoln Place. Moore Engineering is overseeing the construction.
