The Boil Water Advisory continues on its third day for the city of West Plains. The West Plains chief water plant operator explained "The water main break (on Sunday) on south 17 created significant water use on top of already dry conditions which called for multiple wells to run for longer than normal. 14 well started pumping in water with high turbidity causing our combined effluent turbidity meter reading to rise over the limit of 1 NTU. We did maintain good chlorine residuals for the duration of the turbidity spike; this did help greatly to combat any bacteria that was still in the water after the treatment process. We have since shut off 14 well and resumed normal operating levels." Cody Sanders with the City of West Plains explains about what turbidity is: Temporary closures include the West Plains Senior Center and the Splash Pad at the Children's Park on Broadway. The drought conditions and high temperatures are expected to cause water issues across the city of West Plains in the coming weeks. One such issue has caused the 800 block of Missouri Avenue to be closed today, July 6, for sewer service and a water main broke on Utah Street on Tuesday but has been repaired. Sanders explains how the heat can affect water pipes: For safety, the City continues to maintain the boil advisory until water samples test out safely from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.
