Watermain Breaks

BOONE, Iowa---Then there were three, watermain breaks that is. Boone City Administrator Luke Nelson says he can't say for sure if the breaks are connected. But he says they are sure putting pressure on the city's Public Works Department. The last break Tuesday evening occurred right west of the intersection of 8th and Crawford near the site of the old power plant, flooded back yards and even encroached on the homes. Nelson says the break downtown at 9th and Story may take a couple of days to repair.
