Some Worcester residents are without water pressure because of an early Saturday morning water main break on Shore Drive, according to Tom Matthews, a spokesperson for the city.
"Crews are currently on site working to restore water as soon as possible," the statement reads.
Residents may experience low or no water pressure throughout the morning.
At 10:35 a.m. Saturday, the city released a statement saying the water main break had been isolated. As a result, water pressure will increase throughout the day in affected locations.
"Residents should expect discolored water while the system is fully restored," the statement reads. "Norton Drive remains closed between West Boylston Street [and] Shore Drive while repairs are being made."
National Grid is assessing related power outages.
