Town of Elma Responding to Major Water Main Break – Town-Wide Water Service Disruption
The Town of Elma is currently responding to a major water main break that has resulted in a loss of water service throughout the town.
Town of Elma Water Department crews are actively on scene and working to locate, isolate, and repair the break as quickly and safely as possible. Additional support resources are being coordinated as needed to assist with restoration efforts.
Residents who still have water service at this time are asked to limit water usage to essential needs only in order to help stabilize the system while repairs are underway.
At this time, residents should expect continued service interruption until repairs are completed. We do not anticipate water service to be restored prior to tomorrow. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available and as timelines for restoration become clearer.
Press Conference Scheduled
A press conference will be held today at 4:00 PM at:
Elma Town Hall
1600 Bowen Road
Elma, NY 14059
Town officials will provide operational updates, expected restoration timelines, and guidance for residents.
