Water Main Work May Disrupt Service in Bicknell

BICKNELL, Ind. (We Are Knox County) - Some residents in Bicknell may experience water service disruptions through the end of this week.

Bicknell Mayor Thomas Estabrook says a water main replacement project is underway along South Main Street.

Residents between Cherry Street and downtown may notice disruptions through Friday as the old water main is replaced.

“This part of the water line project was not originally scheduled to occur at this time but was accelerated in order to keep the entire Main Street project on schedule to meet the completion deadline, which is just before Labor Day,” said Mayor Estabrook.

Estabrook told WAKC News Now that since there hasn't been a line break, a boil order is not required.

"Testing is done during the process to ensure the water is fine."
