Jasper water outage planned Monday for 10 Leopold Street customers

Only 10 water customers on Leopold Street between 13th and 14th streets will be without service Monday, June 8, as Jasper Municipal Water Department crews shut off water from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a water main tie-in. The city said the outage is weather permitting and that this is the only area affected.

The planned shutdown gives residents and nearby businesses a narrow but important window to plan ahead for the morning, especially since the interruption will last six hours. Jasper posted the notice June 5 and tied the work directly to the water main tie-in on Leopold Street, a sign this is a targeted utility repair rather than a broader service problem.

The same stretch of Leopold Street is already in the middle of a busier public-works period. Jasper’s website also lists a separate milling and repaving notice for Monday, June 8 through Friday, June 12, which suggests the water work is happening alongside street improvements on the block.

Leopold Street has seen repeated utility disruption in recent months. Jasper’s document center shows a boil-water advisory for Leopold Street between 13th and 14th streets that was later lifted, and a February water-service restoration report referenced a water main break at 13th and Leopold streets. Together, those notices show the city has been working through a series of repairs on the same small section of the street.

For Dubois County residents who live or work nearby, the message from Jasper is straightforward: the outage is limited, the timing is fixed, and the water main tie-in should keep the disruption contained to that one block. If weather or construction timing changes, the city said residents should follow its utility updates for any adjustments.
