WATER AND SEWER RELATED PROBLEMS
It is always a good idea to have a supply of bottled water in the house.
If you see water coming up from the ground or roadway, or suspect a water main break, call the Indianapolis Department of Public Works Dispatch at 317-327-1620. Be prepared to provide the following information: a description of the condition, what is being affected, the exact location of the problem and your name, address and telephone number.
If you have no or very low water pressure, contact Indianapolis Water at 317-631-1431 for their 24-hour Customer Service line.
If authorities deem that there is a concern about drinking water quality, you will be advised of what actions to take. In some cases, you may be told not to use the water for cooking or drinking purposes unless it is boiled, treated with bleach or iodine, or disinfected by other means. In an extreme case, you may be told not to use the water for cooking, drinking, had-washing or bathing.
If there is a drought, authorities may advise you to conserve water. Please restrict your water use as much as possible. If the drought worsens, mandatory water restrictions can be imposed. Conservation measures can slow the depletion rate of stored water and potentially postpone or eliminate the threat of serious water shortages.
