Update: County Public Works Fix Broken Water Line
A little after 2 p.m. today, Los Alamos County workers were fixing a hydrant on 36th Street and Diamond Drive. A worker explained when the hydrant was fixed, water valves were re-opened to return water to residents; however, when one valve was turned back on, water started leaking. So the valve was turned off again and workers planned to dig up the valve to see what the problem is and fix it. Residents still have water in their homes, he said.
