Last week’s water line break at 3rd and Walnut Streets was a lot more serious than many people may have realized. In fact, water commissioner Justin Dulgar said the situation was so dire, it threatened the city’s water supply….

Dulgar said longtime water department employee Bill Reed told him it was the most stressful situation in his 30 years on the job. According to Dulgar, the remedy in place now is only temporary and officials are trying to determine the best course of action for a permanent fix which will include installing 200 feet of new line.
