Water lines break during Massachusetts Street repaving
Water service to a business was interrupted after a line on Massachusetts Street between the 700 and 900 blocks broke during repaving work. City officials warn shallow 26 to 36 inch lines may cause more breaks this summer as milling and overlay proceed. A second break on US 40 near Lawrence was fixed the same day.
