City block without water more than 19 hours

The houses of the 1200 Block of 4th Street were without water beginning around 1 or 2 p.m. Sunday but were expected to have it back on before noon today.

David Peterson, director of Havre Public Works, said the cause of the water line break is difficult to place because the infrastructure in the area is so old, it could have been many things.

The crew the city had out Sunday could not get the job done, Peterson said, so they began work at 7 this morning.

“They should, hopefully, have it on before noon today,” Peterson said this morning.

The water on our street is out a whole day at a time at least twice a year. I'm curious why another neighborhood is newsworthy while ours is not.
