Several water breaks in Emporia are leaving people without water for hours. A 33-year-old water tower has been taken offline due to interior repairs. This caused water pressure to fluctuate and has caused 36 water breaks in surrounding neighborhoods. The Emporia City Manager says there is no immediate fix to this, but the city is planning to open water hydrants near the main water plant to help with the water pressure.
Water is a necessity and sometimes the importance and dependance is forgotten. Being left with hours without water is not something people want to experience. Water breaks can effect many things from people’s daily lives and cause larger problem.
