A private contractor doing work for a private project hit a water connection near the Industrial Park in Ruckersville, causing a shut down and loss of pressure for all water users west of the Industrial Park to include all of Stanardsville. There is no estimate at this time regarding a fix and water pressure rebuild, but crews from the water department are on site and working on it now. https://alrt.se/u/XlAntPsv8Qb
