Water Main Break Prompts Boil Water Notice in Overton

OVERTON — A water line break in Overton has been keeping crews busy and the city has now issued a boil water notice, in effect until further notice. Officials said six feet of ten-inch pipeline would have to be replaced. Overton ISD students were released early Wednesday due to the problem. The water system has been failing to provide water to the east side, where the school district is located, according to Overton officials. KETK reports water supply was cut off at around 3:00 Wednesday morning, when the six foot pipe split. Due to the water outage, students were dismissed at 11:00.
