Three water main breaks leave much of La Salle under boil order

The third time is not a charm in La Salle where city workers were called to a third water main break in a day’s time.  The most recent break is on 5^th Street.  Service could be affected on 5^th from Gooding to Bucklin.

The break was noticed around 3pm Wednesday.  The first break happened early Wednesday morning near 6^th and Wright Street.  The break collapsed an area of Wright Street.

A second water main break was discovered at 3^rd and Tonti around 11:30am and was affecting homes between 6^th and 1^st Streets on Tonti.    Homes and businesses south of 9^th Street and east of Interstate 39 are under a boil order.  The north side of 9^th Street is not.
