Parts of West Rodney Drive close due to water main break; no boil advisory expected

A water line break closed parts of West Rodney Drive near Adeline Avenue and Lear Drive on Friday, Jan. 31, in Cape Girardeau.

Alliance Water Resources local manager Jonathan Ridings said a 6-inch cast iron water main broke, but it's unknown what caused it. He said officials are not expecting a boil-water advisory to be issued, but wasn't sure whether it would stay that way.

"But most likely, we'll be able to keep it all pressurized and fix it," Ridings said. "If something were to change, we'd let the public know right away."

The City of Cape Girardeau Facebook page states officials will update the post and city's website — https://www.cityofcapegirardeau.org — if a boil-water advisory is needed.
