A press release from the city of Baldwin Thursday afternoon informed water customers that all water mains were repaired, according to Baldwin spokesperson John Dills. In the press release, the last of the remaining sections of the water system were being pressurized. But due to the vast number of customers affected by the water outage, pressurizing the water system could last through the night Thursday and water will be restored to all customers in the near future.
