Water Main Break Affects Fareway Warehouse

BOONE, Iowa---Most people were cautioned about an anhydrous ammonia leak at the Fareway warehouse Monday evening.  Sheriff Ron Fehr says the several agencies responded, including Emergency Management and Des Moines Haz-Mat.  Fehr says the warehouse was evacuated.  No injuries were reported.  He noted the leak was confined to a small area and was no danger to the public.  However, a main waterline beneath the floor of the warehouse ruptured and heaved the floor apparently causing the anhydrous leak.  Quite a bit of water and mud entered the warehouse creating a massive clean up.  The cause of the water line break has not been determined.
