Water main break
A waterline to a city fire hydrant broke overnight Sunday in the faculty parking lot at the west end of Pleasant Street Elementary School. A city water department crew pried this cover off to close the valve and shut off the water to the hydrant. Pictured, from left, are Bill Moran, Carl Orndorf, Jamie Parker and twisting the valve shut is Robert Stribling. The department is expected to dig up the line and repair the break. (Virgil Shipley)
