Bullhead City Utilities is responding to a water service outage affecting homes and businesses along highway 95 from 1st Street to 7th Street.
A pump motor at a well site in the area failed early this morning, preventing the well from producing water. Bullhead City Utilities has been working to reroute water to the area from different sections of the water system while the motor is repaired. Water service to the area is being restored momentarily. Customers can expect lower than normal water pressure and discolored water due to sediments stirred up by the change in flow direction. Customers should remain confident the water is still safe. Bullhead City Utilities suggests customers may flush discolored water through an outside hose bib to clear their lines.
Bullhead City Utilities has no estimate at this time for when the well will resume operation. The City of Bullhead City will issue more updates as information becomes available.
