Some Youngstown Water Department customers could experience lower-than-normal water pressure over the next couple of days.

The department is doing routine maintenance to the water tank on Kirk Road in Austintown Thursday.

Crews began draining the tank on Wednesday and the refilling process will be finished by Friday.

A few different areas could experience lower water pressure including:

  • Austintown west of Raccoon Road and south of New Road
  • Canfield Township (all Youngstown Water customers)
  • Boardman west of Lockwood Boulevard and south of Shields Road
  • Boardman's Sherwood Forest development north of Shields Road
