City Water System Repaired in Ten Days
An extended water shortage in Leavenworth prompted a council decision to buy 1090 feet of pipe and 200 feet of high pressure line. City crews, aided by a dredged supply and a supplied spring delivery, restored pressure while awaiting 1200 feet of new pipe and a responsible plan to prevent future outages. Affected areas faced waterless days and the hatchery suffered fish losses.
