Ennis ISD announced Monday that classes will be canceled again Tuesday amid a boil water notice that also remains in place.
El domingo 5 de mayo se llevará a cabo una celebración por el Cinco de Mayo en el centro de Ennis, Texas.
Classes and activities for students and staff were canceled Monday after the city issued a boil water notice early Sunday morning because of “low water pressure caused by a water main break,” aAn 8-inch water main at the intersection of Interstate 45 and Highway 34 ruptured Saturday, according to the city. Two of the city’s water towers were impacted as a result.The announcement said one tower was shut off to isolate the leak on I-45 and the other could not be filled due to the series of leaks.
The series of events left part of the city without water and other areas ordered to boil their water prior to using it. However, a city spokesperson said as of Tuesday evening, “the largest water main break has been successfully repaired, and water service has been restored to the affected area of the city.”Water samples were collected Tuesday evening and sent to the lab for testing, the spokesperson said. Lab results are expected within 24 hours. If the results confirm the water is safe for consumption, the boil water notice will be lifted and residents will be notified, city officials said.
From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, residents can obtain free cases of water at Fire Station No. 1, located 1700 Lake Bardwell Drive.Zacharia Washington is a breaking news reporter with The Dallas Morning News.
