A second water main break was discovered under the rail road tracks behind Kav's Tire.
According to City Administrator Andrew Devine, this secondary water main break is believed to be the reason water pressures have been so low throughout the day. Crews had to isolate this leak before continuing work at the first leak near the water tower, as mentioned in initial story that can be found here. "It took a while to isolate the second leak, but it is now isolated and water pressures should improve to more useful levels," Devine said. Work at the water tower main will resume. By declaration of Mayor Jarecki, water restrictions are still in effect until further notice. |
