Updated: The repairs on the Edgewater Water System were completed and the line re-pressurized.
Edgewater residents are being asked to conserve as much water as possible until repairs are made.
RDEK officials said there was unexpected damage to the siphon line that connects Lake Baptiste to the reservoir towers that store water for the Edgewater water system.
The water is safe to drink, but residents are asked to put off running dishwashers, laundry, baths and showers until the repairs are complete.
There is also no outdoor water use until further notice.
