City officials were continuing to look for the location of a water main break in the City of Saline Monday.
The water main break was discovered Monday morning. City Manager Colleen O'Toole said Monday evening that the precise location of the break remains unknown.
"We don't know if it's a full main break or if it could be resolved with a sleeve," O'Toole told city council Monday. "We are still trying to identify the location of that leak."
She said it was a leak in the supply line leaving the water treatment plant.
She said the city has tried but failed to contact Michigan Utility Notification Center.
"We have been trying to contact them throughout the day. Unfortunately, they've been unresponsive," O'Toole said.
She said the water plant would keep a crew member on duty after hours to monitor the situation.
"We'll have crews available on a rotating basis if and when we need to call them," O'Toole said.
She said DPW Director Larry Sirls was overseeing the department.
O'Toole said residents may experience discoloration or pressure issues. Those issues may become more pronounced once repairs being. O'Toole said she was hopeful repairs would take place Tuesday.
Mayor Brian Marl apologized for the convenience and said the city was working expeditiously to get the matter solved.
Tran, I am confused by this article, it didn’t give context about when and why the city thinks there is a water main break. Also, there are some grammatical errors, being instead of begin and convenience instead of inconvenience.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
Name all the municipalities of 10,000 people that have their own Rec Center with a pool. I'm generally curious.
Saline Area Schools needs to take over the Rec Center with a Rec creation millage and maybe a short bond issue, too, for improvements.
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
