Employees from the City of McAlester and contractors work to fix a water line break Friday in the Green Meadows neighborhood.
Five major water line breaks in the McAlester water system were repaired Monday, with work underway on more as the day progressed. They re working on six more this afternoon, City Manager Pete Stasiak said Monday.
Those are the major water line breaks, not counting the numerous small breaks in water lines around the city.
Water tower levels in McAlester started dropping again Saturday afternoon, said City of McAlester Public Information Officer/Grant Writer Stephanie Giacomo.
The city of McAlester is seeing some progress with its water issues, but challenges, including a voluntary boil order, were expected to continue during the weekend.
