Cleveland Water reported Wednesday morning that there is a water main leak on Glen Ridge in Euclid.

The water is being shut off in that area, but it may mean that tap water in Shaker Heights could be affected.

"There is a small chance that Shaker residents may see red or grey matter in their water caused by iron from the pipes. It may take a few days to repair the leak," according to a Facebook post from the City of Shaker Heights Government.

There is no boil alert in Shaker Heights.
