Residents on the east side of Great Bend may have experienced some water outages in recent weeks. A water main break at Broadway and Heizer was a culprit on Oct. 5. Public Works Director Jason Cauley said the system should be back in working order after the replacement of a fire hydrant at another intersection last Wednesday.

"At 19th and Kansas, there was a fire hydrant replacement last week," he said. "We had the water pressure reduced for about 15-30 minutes. Once they got it all shut down, they were able to get the hydrant bolted on and replaced. The water was turned on relatively promptly."

The city dealt with a water main break at 3109 12th Street on Sept. 13, and the initial leak was reported at 19th and Kansas on Sept. 29. Cauley said with the replacement of the hydrant, that intersection is now open for traffic.
