4/24/24 Water Main Break

4/25/24 8:30pm UPDATE: The precautionary boil advisory related to this post is no longer in effect.

4/25/24 1:00am UPDATE: Service to the impacted area was restored at approximately 12:30am on 4/25/24. As noted below, those within the impacted area will be on a 48hr Boil Advisory as outlined below.

4/24/24: At approximately 7:30pm, Sellersburg Water was notified of a potential water main break at 8098 S. Indiana Ave. (US-31) in front of the Sellersburg Moose Lodge.

Shortly before 8pm, crews were able to isolate the break using newly installed valves within the system. The area of isolation includes the Sellersburg Moose Lodge, all businesses at the Silver Creek Logistics Center, those located on Bringham Dr., Industrial Blvd. and Progress Way, as well as households between 1006 S. Indiana Ave. and 1020 S. Indiana Ave. This isolation will impact approximately 17 households and 22 businesses.

All impacted customers have been notified via email and texts on file in our billing system. If you have not received notification via email and/or text from Sellersburg Water regarding this break, you are asked to contact the Billing Office at (812)246-3821 during normal business hours to verify your contact information on file to receive emergency notifications directly from Sellersburg Water.

Once water service is restored, customers in the impacted area will be on a 48-hour precautionary boil water advisory pending testing results from a 3rd party testing laboratory. However, precautionary boil advisories usually last from 18 to 24 hours and customers will be notified in the same manner when the advisory has been lifted.

Customers should flush their cold water taps for a few minutes once service is restored to bleed air from their lines.

Once the boil water advisory is lifted, notification will be published on this website, the Town’s Facebook, news media, and customers will be contacted directly using the information on file in our billing department.

During the time of isolation for the repair, surrounding users may experience a drop in water pressure due to the rerouting of water flow within the system. Pressure to these areas will return once repairs have been completed.
