Dozens of water breaks in Emporia are leaving many without water for hours at a time. The city manager says the city’s main water tower was taken offline on September 6. “It is a 33-year-old water tower that we have taken offline to do some interior repairs to it,” said the City Manager for the City of Emporia, Trey Cocking. The removal caused water pressure to shift in the last week, and water pressure has caused 36 water breaks in local neighborhoods. “We’re experiencing a much higher volume than normal,” explained Cocking.
