Water outage in Brooten

An unforseen mechanical problem during routine water tower maintenance in Brooten has led to an hours-long water outage across town. The issue arose around 10 a.m. today, and it appears that it will take at least a "couple more hours" until it's resolved, according to city staff.

At B-B-E, all activities have been cancelled for today at the elementary school, and the day care is closing as of 1 p.m. Families have been notified. **Updates to this issue will be posted in an online article at the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper website: http://www.bonanzavalleyvoice.com.
