Students on the main campus of the Boyle County Schools were only drinking bottled water Wednesday, after a water main break on the campus.
“We were running some fiberoptic cables, they tunnel under the ground.
No students were impacted Tuesday afternoon, he said, because all kids were gone by the time the water ran out.
The Danville Water Department responded quickly to the problem, Holderman said.
Holderman said the district has protocols established, which they were able to enact, and followed the protocols from the Boyle County Health Department.
Students can wash their hands with soap and water, he said, but the district set out hand sanitizer, too, to use after washing their hands.
“We don’t know if it’ll be lifted tonight, so we’re going to prepare for that,” Holderman said on Wednesday afternoon.
He said Masters had delivery trucks go to the Lowe’s in Nicholasville on Wednesday to bring the rest of the water in.
“They went above and beyond the call of duty there,” he said.
To bring them back online, they have to flush the lines and change the filters on those.
