Highland, IN – Residents in a Highland neighborhood may experience water service disruptions today as crews respond to a water main break that has forced a temporary road closure.
According to the Highland Police Department, Highland Public Works crews are actively working on a water main break in the 8100 block of Grace Place. Officials say some residents in the immediate area may notice reduced water pressure or a temporary loss of water service while repairs are underway.
Authorities have not provided an estimated time for when repairs will be completed, noting that the duration of the outage remains unknown as crews assess the damage and complete emergency work. Motorists are advised to avoid the area and seek alternate routes while the roadway remains closed.
The affected location is within Highland in Lake County, a community in Northwest Indiana near the Chicago metropolitan area, where utility-related road closures can quickly impact local traffic and nearby residential streets.
Residents who experience extended water loss are encouraged to limit water usage when service is restored, as pressure fluctuations can occur following a main repair. Officials also recommend running taps briefly once water service returns to clear any air or discoloration from household lines.
Local police said additional updates will be shared as more information becomes available. Drivers and nearby homeowners should remain alert for posted detours, utility vehicles, and changing conditions throughout the day.
Anyone with concerns about property access or prolonged service interruptions can contact the Town of Highland for assistance.
