Water main breaks force partial street closures on 19th Street
Two separate water main breaks Friday shut stretches of 19th Street east of Haskell Avenue and near Miller Drive. Through traffic is redirected to 15th and 23rd streets while homes remain accessible via side streets. A second break narrows 19th Street to one lane east of Harper through the weekend. Some homes and businesses lacked water Friday as the Lawrence Humane Society supplied extra drinking water. Kansas University offers a free Military Mental Health First Aid course at the Lawrence campus today, certifying participants as Mental Health First Aiders. The program has trained over 300,000 since 2008, with a veteran focus since 2014.
