Emporia Public Works has finished repairs on three water line breaks that developed either late Friday night or Saturday.
Crews were called to Loma Vista near Coronado and the 2800 block of Prairie, working on both pipes as they monitored a leak in the 1300 block of Woodland. Around noon, the Woodland situation was called a line break, so Public Works went to that location.
Aside from the 12-inch line on Prairie, Public Works has not mentioned the diameters of the affected pipes. There is no word on the number of customers impacted by the line breaks.
