A section of South Main in Henderson was closed down Thursday after a water line and a gas line broke.
City officials say utility workers were doing work at South Main and Hancock Street when a water line broke.
We’re told the gas line break lasted about an hour and crews are now working to repair the water line.
While crews were working to repair the gas line, officials say there was a momentary concern for a nearby daycare.
There were no evacuations, but they did have a contingency plan in place for the daycare if needed.
They don’t believe there will be a boil advisory.

ARLINGTON – The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has issued a boil-water advisory for the public water supply in Arlington.
Health officials issued the advisory because the city cannot maintain the minimum required chlorine residual.
Details on why there are issues with chlorine levels were not immediately available but failure to maintain those levels may put the system at risk for bacterial contamination.
The advisory will remain until officials determine that conditions that placed the system at risk of contamination are adequately resolved.
Customers should observe the following precautions until further notice: Boil water for one minute before drinking or food preparation or use bottled water.
Dispose of ice cubes and do not use ice from a household automatic icemaker.
Disinfect dishes and other food contact surfaces by immersion for at least one minute in clean tap water that contains one teaspoon of unscented household bleach per gallon of water.
Water used for bathing does not need to be boiled.
Supervision of children is necessary while bathing, however, so they don’t ingest the water.
Persons with cuts or severe rashes may wish to consult their physicians.

San Luis Obispo County officials have extended the Boil Water Notice for Shandon.
A statement by the SLO County Department of Public Works says: Testing indicated no bacteriological contamination in the system; however, the turbidity (clarity) of the water is still elevated.
The County is committed to ensuring that an adequate quantity of clean, wholesome, and potable water is delivered to you.
Flushing and testing of the water will continue until the water meets all drinking water standards and is safe to use for drinking and cooking purposes.
The notice was issued on Dec. 19 after Shandon’s main water line was damaged by a contractor working nearby.
A Boil Water Notice has been issued for the residents of Shandon in San Luis Obispo County after the town’s main water line was damaged Tuesday.
SLO County officials said a contractor working near the San Juan Creek Bridge on Centre Street at 9 a.m. accidentally damaged the main water line causing the water system to lose pressure.
It’s unknown how the contractor damaged the water line.
Officials say when water system pressure returns, Shandon residents should boil their tap water for drinking and cooking purposes as a safety precaution until testing results are available on Thursday, Dec. 21, 2017.
Alternatively, residents can use bottled water for drinking and cooking.

It does not come as a surprise anymore that the state of drinking water in the country is deplorable.
A study released in August highlighted the alarmingly high levels of arsenic — way above the WHO recommended level of 10 microgammes per litre — in the country’s groundwater putting lives of over 60 million people at risk.
Add to that the mismanagement of the authorities concerned, such as the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB).
A report published on Dec 21st in this paper states that over 30 public-sector colleges are being supplied unsafe potable water.
The issue surfaced after laboratory tests of water samples collected from 136 government colleges in the metropolis were conducted by the education department.
While the chief minister of Sindh has expressed his dissatisfaction over the matter and ordered to replace water lines in Karachi, it is going to take a considerable amount of time before the system is completely overhauled along with ensuring the efficiency of the KWSB.
Karachi’s water emergency has been an ongoing issue that successive governments have been unable to solve, as theft and wastage are major reasons for the city’s water woes coupled with dumping of industrial and solid waste in fresh water sources and mixing of sewage and clean water due to poor infrastructure.
These issues only lead to further widening the divide in the country’s social structures, where government college students are left with unsafe potable water.
In the wake of these, it is important that pragmatic steps are taken to cater to the emergency in the short term as well as long term.
This could be done by providing public-sector colleges with safe potable bottled water in the short term and involve independent experts to work with the government to solve the issue in the long term with a thorough action plan.

Environmental officials are investigating New Zealand’s use of firefighting foam that contains banned chemicals.
The foam has already been found to have contaminated groundwater underneath the air force bases at Ohakea and Woodbourne.
Human bodies get rid of PFOA and PFOS from their systems much more slowly than other animal species.
It has been banned in firefighting standards in New Zealand since 2006 and hasn’t been used by the Defence Force since 2002.
That can happen after being consumed in water, or food produced with contaminated soil and water, or fish living in contaminated water.
The Defence Force has confirmed that soil and groundwater at Ohakea and Woodbourne airbases is contaminated above acceptable levels.
It is unclear why the level for milk is so much higher than for drinking water (70 parts per trillion).
What levels are okay?
New Zealand has adopted the Australian standards, which, for drinking water, is 70 parts per trillion for PFOS and 560 parts per trillion for PFOA.
Once removed, the levels in the blood decrease – studies have shown a 60 percent fall in four years.

A boil water advisory is in effect for the city of Laurel after a driver crashed into a fire hydrant on Queensburg Avenue Wednesday, causing a leak in a major water line.
Mayor Johnny Magee said the old water line, estimated to be from the 1970’s, tracked along the perimeter of the city.
That is what caused the water pressure issues throughout that city.
Laurel Residents – here’s where your ????
Many Laurel residents reached out to WDAM, saying the water company did not notify users of any issues.
Diaz said the department didn’t know the exact issue until residents were already impacted.
· Do not drink tap water while the water system is under a boil water advisory.
· Do not use tap water to make drinks, juices, or fountain soft drinks.
· Wash your fruits and vegetables with boiled or bottled water since they may have been exposed to affected water from grocery store sprayers.
· Wash your hands and bathe as usual.

In Illinois, all school buildings constructed prior to January 1, 1987, must have every drinking water source tested for lead prior to December 31, 2017.
(225 ILCS 320/29).
A school building is defined as any building (or portion of a building) that may be occupied by more than 10 children or students, pre-kindergarten through grade 5, under the control of a school district or a public, private, charter, or nonpublic day or residential educational institution.
The law requires testing for lead at each source of potable water, meaning where there is non-bottled water that may be ingested by children or used for food preparation, such as taps, faucets, drinking fountains, wash basins in a classroom occupied by children or students under grade 1, or similar points of use.
School buildings constructed after January 1, 2000 are excluded from the potable water testing requirement, as well as bathroom sinks and wash basins used by janitorial staff.
If any of the samples taken in the school buildings exceeds 5 parts per billion, the School District or Chief School Administrator, or their designee, must “promptly provide an individual notification of the sampling results, via written or electronic communication, to the parents or legal guardians of all enrolled students and include the following information: the corresponding sampling location within the school building and the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s website for information about lead in drinking water.” (225 ILCS 320/35.5(c)(3)).
If any of the samples taken at the school are at or below 5 parts per billion, notification may be made by posting on the school’s website or, if desired, by individual notifications as would be done if the samples exceed 5 parts per billion.
If sampling is not timely completed, the Illinois Department of Public Health may refer the matter for enforcement.
For school buildings constructed between January 2, 1987 and January 1, 2000, the deadline for sampling is December 31, 2018.

San Juan Bautista City Council members heard an update on the plan to solve the city’s nitrate-contaminated water at Tuesday night’s regular meeting at City Hall.
It is the result of a California Water Resources Board, Division of Drinking Water, citation for failing to meet water well standards for nitrates.
The city, Tewes explained, will reimburse Edenbridge for developing the new well and be credited against its water connection fees.
Tewes said the new wells, while meeting drinking water standards, are not likely to meet secondary standards.
So an iron/manganese treatment system will be needed for both wells No.
The agreement, which must be approved by the City Council, calls for a swap of land.
San Juan Bautista will install well connections to allow Coke to use water from well No.
Will removal of private water softeners be required to meet the standards?
What are the costs to redesign, move, install and operate the pellet plant, and what are the costs to customers to remove private water softeners?
In other actions, the council approved naming Jim West was mayor and John Freeman as vice mayor for 2018.

By Ariel Worthy The Birmingham Times Whether donating bottled water to the city of Flint, Michigan or backpacks to students in Birmingham City Schools, Emily Hayes wants to find a way to serve.
The organization this year partnered with the Birmingham Public Library and Tuggle Elementary School, to donate 750 backpacks filled with school supplies.
“People would ask me why I wanted to do [a back to school rally] because so many are held in the city,” Hayes said.
“Just to see the gratitude on their faces is what it’s about,” she said.
Her second donation was to a back-to-school rally for Birmingham-area students, where over 500 students received backpacks filled with school supplies.
Hayes credited Yvette Richardson of the State Board of Education for help in assisting the schools.
I want children to grow up with a healthier mentality than what they are used to having.” Other goals include helping school instructors.
I want to provide a classroom with supplies so .
“When you hear the name Served, you know your students are going to get helped in some capacity,” she said.
“I want to spark this light in someone else’s heart, and have them invest in the community.” Hayes, who works for a company on 280, and part-time for the city of Birmingham’s fitness center, said she travels as much as possible when not working.

The Niagara Falls Water Board awarded an emergency contract to fix a rupture at the coupling of two large water mains on Wednesday.
A town of Alden based firm, CATCO Corp., was awarded the $292,000 contract as the low bidder in an emergency request for proposals, a process that began earlier this week.
The high school was forced to close for two days due to sanitation and health concerns resulting from low water pressure.
Pat Bradley, a spokesman for the medical center, said Wednesday the facility had to hire outside contractors, the city-based Swanson Plumbing, to increase its own water pressure concerns.
As of Wednesday, the plumbing in those units was in working order, Bradley said.
But concern remains on the medical center’s second and third floors – its behavioral health units – where toilets are "not yet working properly," Bradley said.
Bradley could not say when full water pressure was expected at the medical center, but reiterated that patient care has not been impacted throughout the process.
"We haven’t missed a beat," he said.
Bradley said the medical center has accrued "significant costs" as a result of the situation, including Swanson’s costs, bottled water purchases and staff overtime.
"We’re confident we’re moving forward in a very positive manner to continue to address the circumstance that we’re operating in," Bradley said.
