Broken Water Main

At around 8:15 pm, a few minutes after I left the Town Hall Meeting on Friday evening (July 11) I saw our City Manager heading to the city barn to turn off the water. He slowed down and told me that we had a broken 6" water main at 5th and Igoe and that they should have it working shortly.

After stopping by Nana B's to have a quick meal, I headed over to the work-site to find Larry and Mike in about a five foot deep hole almost up to their knees in muddy water. They worked non-stop until the water came back on at around 11:00 pm with full pressure being achieved around midnight when they got the booster pump primed the same night.

I did receive a few phone calls about the lack of water, but I figure that to most in town, the water outage went unnoticed. A big thanks to Larry, Mike as well as their support team (Truman, Roger, Todd and others) for getting our water back on in short-order. Next time that you see them, tell them thank ou for a job well done!

I will be posting several questions that I received at te town hall meeting on Friday once things slow down a bit in th Campbell household!
