Battle Creek water crews will be busy on Friday night into the wee hours of Saturday morning in the Riverside Drive/Columbia Avenue area.

The City says that water valve replacement work will take place Friday evening, June 11, causing temporary water outages.

This work will require temporary water shutoffs Friday, June 11 from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., in the areas listed below:

• Hayman Avenue, between Riverside Drive and Acacia Boulevard E.
• Riverside Drive, between Columbia Avenue E. and Golden Avenue
