The valve replacement scheduled to take place Friday evening in Downtown Sanford has been postponed.

Crews said unexpected delays on other projects made it so they wouldn't be able to do the valve replacement as scheduled. The work will be rescheduled next week, and another notification will be sent out when more information is available.
