Water main break leaves Eden Place Monticello residents without water
Eight inch water main busted on Eden Place early Sunday causing water outages for residents on both sides of the street. Service Safety Director Phillip Goldsberry said crews shut water off at 8:30 a.m. and restored service Sunday afternoon after repairs. Monticello Village lost water for two to three hours until crews moved to the site. The cold weather is suspected to have caused the damage. Also noted, Building 1 at Ohio University defended its championship in the second annual Individual Events Speech Tournament at Miami University Middletown Campus with Ball State finishing second amid a 350 plus student field from 33 colleges.
