There is little to no water pressure for many Jefferson City homes this morning.

Christie Barnhart, the external affairs manager for Missouri American Water company told us they are aware of the outage.

There is an issue at the plant with a broken 6-inch water line. The broken line delivers water to the treatment plant.

The problem will affect the company's entire service area.
