A broken water main in the municipal water system in Paddock Lake has been repaired as of 6 p.m.
A boil order for affected homes will not be necessary, said Tim Popanda, village administrator.
At about 12:30 p.m., Friday a contractor working for the placement of fiber optic cable directional bored through a village water main at 258th Avenue and 77TH Place in the Whitetail Ridge Subdivision.
The main is 8 plus feet deep at the location the fiber contractor drilled through the main, Popanda said.
A boil order was not needed due to how the repair was ultimately made.
Becuse the break was isolated to a very small area, the village was able to supply water to users from three different directions while the break was repaired, Popanda said. Without complete loss of pressure and isolation the repaired main was thoroughly flushed.
