Crews continued work Monday on dozens of water line breaks across the City of Tulsa, meaning hundreds of people are still without running water.
Officials said 40 crews were at work, and the city s water main breaks dashboard showed 60 active breaks as of 5 p.m. Tulsans are asked to keep conserving water no washing cars, no running high-use appliances and no long showers.
The city is pumping 75 million more gallons of water a day than is typical. Water and Sewer Director Clayton Edwards said they’re looking for problems on the city system, but more than one-thousand private breaks have been reported from homes and businesses.
Yesterday driving down Frank Ave in Lufkin, I was heartened to see that Mom s Diner was doing a brisk drive-thru business. They had 3 cars in line around 5:30p and two waiting to turn in. Now these aren t McDonald s kind of numbers, but I was glad to see after a year of changes and setbacks, local businesses in Lufkin are seeing the support of the community.
I guess that has to do with the quality and taste of the food. No can resist a Mom s Monster. It s Mom s 34th Anniversary and to celebrate they are passing on some great deals. The sale is today only (Friday December 18th).
