TRAVERSE CITY — Problems flowed into Benzie County’s jail after water gushed from Beulah’s drinking water supply network.
Sheriff Ted Schendel said the leak forced jail staff to make some quick adjustments.
Muddy running water returned to the jail, which along with all other Beulah homes and businesses remains in a boil water advisory that could last through Friday, said Brian Moore, village department of public works superintendent.
He blamed the spill on an aging pipe located beneath Spring Valley Street between Highland Drive and Crystal Avenue.
A small crack split the water main, spilling about 250,000 gallons of water and dropping water pressure throughout the village.
Moore discovered the leak, heard the jail did not have water at about 6 p.m. and quickly put the boil-water advisory into effect.
He said in his 16 years with the village he has seen the water main along Spring Valley Street break eight times.
Schendel said he was relieved water returned at all.
The advisory will continue until three consecutive clean water samples are collected, Moore said.
Crews traveled around Beulah in search of those samples Tuesday afternoon.

County optimistic boil water advisory could be lifted Thursday.
FULL AUDIO: Press Conference Prince Edward County is optimistic a boil water advisory could be lifted by Thursday after initial testing on the Picton/Bloomfield water supply showed ‘extremely encouraging’ results Monday.
A boil water advisory was then issued for Picton and Bloomfield residents by the Hastings and Prince Edward Health Unit.
During a press conference Tuesday morning Mayor Robert Quaiff said the water facility was temporarily restarted Monday for testing.
He said initial test results were ‘extremely encouraging.’ However the boil water advisory will remain in effect until the plant is fully operational and reconnected to the distribution system.
He said it’s too early to tell if residents will be asked to flush their lines once the plant is running again.
When pressed for an explanation as to what slowed hauling efforts on Monday, Quaiff said an official with Ministry of Transportation was pulling water trucks over for inspection.
It’s a limit of two 10L jugs per household per day.
The Coast Guard began demobilizing Monday after the barge was taken out of Picton Bay.
The County is maintaining close contact with provincial and federal agencies in these efforts and says it will provide details to the public as it becomes available.

Boil water advisory imposed on Sunchild First Nation for 2nd time this year.
About 30 homes on the Sunchild First Nation are under a boil water advisory after leaks in the main water line caused the community’s reservoirs to drop.
Those that do have water are being told to boil it before using it.
Both ConocoPhillips and Shell, which have operations in the area, have been helping to refill the tanks and provide bottled water while officials work to repair the leaks, she said.
About 160 more homes on the reserve are not affected because they use their own wells and are not tied-in to the main water line.
First Nations water issues Sunchild First Nation was under an earlier boil water advisory in January due to a problem with chlorine levels.
Jen Essex, a teacher in the community, says it happens too often on First Nations reserves.
"If this happened in a town for example, I mean, it wouldn’t happen," said Essex.
"Water just wouldn’t get cut off.
I think people need to know that this happens, a lot more frequently than they’re probably aware of it."

Boil advisory remains for county water customers – bottled water program available.
A boil water advisory is still in effect for residents of Sugarloaf, according to the Shasta County Department of Public Works.
Last month, E. Coli was found in the well that serves the water system.
The advisory is in effect for the Sugarloaf water system, part of the County Service Areas.
The advisory has been in effect since March 18.
The county is working to upgrade the treatment system and lift the requirement.
In the meantime, state funds will be made available to provide bottled drinking water to customers meeting certain income and residential requirements, according to the Public Works Department.
In February, E. Coli was found in the untreated water from the well that serves the water system.
That includes boiling water for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation.
Customers who would like to be considered for the bottled water service should contact the Shasta County Department of Public Works, CSA Division at (530) 225-5571.

A boil water advisory issued on March 30 remains in place for residents connected to the Picton and Bloomfield water system despite the successful recovery of a partially submerged barge in Picton Bay on Saturday afternoon.
A bulk water station where residents can purchase potable water has been set up in Wellington at the Wellington and District Community Centre on 111 Belleville St.
The dispensing unit is coin-operated and has a one-inch connection.
The county is working to install another bulk water unit in Picton.
A statement from Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Oceans said all hazardous materials have been removed from the vessel.
During the recovery of the barge, extra efforts were made to contain pollution in the surrounding environment, according to a statement released Saturday by the Canadian Coast Guard.
Additional floating barriers and special vacuums were deployed to collect any run-off from the barge.
"Through expertise and teamwork we were able to re-float the barge safely," Chris Kirby, director of project management at McKeil Marine Limited, said in a media release.
The barge was repositioned closer to the dock and had two pipe sections removed to make it easier to lift, according to the release.
The deck of the barge is now fully out of the water.

2 schools without water.
Two Hammond schools were without water service Thursday and Friday because a water main break caused a loss of water pressure Thursday.
The water district issued a boil water advisory Thursday for River Road between U.S. 190 and Vineyard Road as well as adjacent roads.
The area includes Hammond High and Hammond Eastside magnet schools on River Road.
Hammond High Interim Principal Shelly Gaydos said water has been shut off during the advisory.
Superintendent Mark Kolwe said the same steps were being taken next door at Hammond Eastside.
Wendy Montalbano, compliance officer for the water district, said the break in the water main has been repaired, but the loss of water pressure could potentially introduce contaminates in the water supply for the designated area, so the advisory was issued.
Samples of water were collected Friday and sent to the Louisiana Department of Health lab for testing.
Montalbano expects the results will come in today.
In the meantime, the advisory remains in effect.

Support has been “incredible”: Quaiff.
PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY – Residents here who use the Picton/Bloomfield drinking water system continue to be encouraged to boil their water before using it.
A cautionary boil water advisory implemented earlier this week remains and place and is expected to for a number of days while officials continue to grapple with water issues after a barge became partially submerged in Picton Bay late last week.
While no contaminants have entered the drinking water system the advisory was issued earlier this week as a precautionary measure and the water filtration plant has been shut down in the interim.
During Friday’s meeting Mayor Robert Quaiff spoke to the support the municipality has received not only from neighbouring municipalities but from higher levels of government, as well.
As well, he said, residents’ conservation efforts have helped in maintaining a steady level at the reservoirs.
“I’m confident we’re moving in the right direction.” County public works commissioner Robert McAuley stressed none of the contaminants entered the drinking water system and the municipality is starting to formulate a plan on when to re-establish the distribution system, but warned it is “still days away though.” In the interim, Quaiff noted the municipality specifically asked the canadian Coast Guard to restrict any vessel traffic in the area.
As a part of this, aggregate shipping from the Picton Terminals has been stopped.
The mayor said the municipality requested the shipping stop and “there was no hesitation on Picton Terminals’ part.
We’re very thankful for that.”
