Still no water at 10:15. Guy I talked to said maybe this evening. Why isn[‘t anyone making a bigger deal of this. Other water main breaks had news trucks and city emails. What are we watery chopped liver?

Yeah, I talked to the crew. Digging was done to determine extent of problem with sewage line beneath water line. Sewage line crushed by natural causes/settling, so both it and water line are being replaced. Sewage line replaced by approx 8pm, water to be replaced ASAP tonight. Need to determine whether we’re headed for boil-water advisory when water restored.
