Roughly three hours after it was reported Sunday afternoon, a broken water main in northwest Emporia was deemed fully repaired.
The break was on a 10-inch line just east of Prairie in the 2200 block and was reported shortly before 3:30 pm, although at least one Four Seasons Apartment resident noted water pressure issues as early as noon. The line was listed as repaired shortly before 7 pm.
Residents on both sides of Prairie, including those living in Four Seasons, Greenbriar Estates and apartments on the west side of the block, as well as West Side Baptist Church, had their water service affected.
