Glenwood Springs water treatment plant issues resolved
Update, 10 a.m.: The treatment plant has regained access to the raw water supply. South Glenwood residents and businesses might still experience low pressure, but the rest of the city is expected to be functioning as normal.
The cause was deemed to be “air pockets in the water line and a severed communication line.”
