Line Tie-In To Shut Down Water Tower The tie-in of a new 12-inch water line will require the downtown water tower to be taken out of service Wednesday night beginning at 8 p.m. According to Public Works Director Walter Garcia, the work will be done overnight. A boil water notice is anticipated as the work to tie in the line and replace six fire hydrants is expected to take approximately six hours, well past the two-hour limit to avoid a notice. The new line is part of a $2 million grant project that took water to property owned by the Hillsboro Economic Development Corporation (HEDC) on Highway 81 and the line which connects the downtown tower to the industrial water tower site.
