A planned water outage will affect part of Owensboro Thursday. According to Owensboro Municipal Utilities, about 300 customers will be without water while crews replace system valves. The affected area stretches from East 4th Street south to E 15th Street between Breckenridge Street and Leitchfield Road, affecting connecting streets in between.
