The city of Denton released a statement Thursday evening stating:
"Good evening, The main is one of two raw water lines that draws water from Lake Lewisville to our Lake Lewisville Water Treatment Plan inside the City Limits. We don't foresee the repair time being long, but we're currently assessing and should have a better idea of the repair time by noon tomorrow. Our crews won't stop working until the repair is complete. We'll keep people up to date via the City's social media."
