HANNIBAL, Mo. (WGEM) - Utility officials lifted a boil order Thursday afternoon at 4:20 p.m. for residents in and around Hannibal. The boil order for customers of the Ralls County Public Water Supply district will remain in place until Friday at 1 p.m.

BPW customers and PWSD residents were asked Monday to begin conserving water after the basement in the treatment plant flooded Sunday afternoon. The conservation warning was lifted Wednesday morning at 8 a.m.

Monday afternoon, PWSD and BPW issued a boil order for all customers in the service territories through Wednesday at 1 p.m. That order was extended Tuesday, when officials said the boil order would expire Friday at 1 p.m., but after all bacterial testing came back clear, BPW officials lifted the boil order early.

"Residents are now free to use water as they normally would," Kari Goodman, of BPW said. "However, some customers are experiencing dirty water, so please be mindful when doing laundry."

An update on BPW's website said water levels were back to normal in the water treatment plant and system tanks Wednesday morning.

"So anything that we cooked today, we used boiled water on and then for our dinner tonight we're making sure that we even boiled our coffee and tea to make sure we took care of that matter," Executive Director Debbie Catlett said. Ice was another concern for Catlett. So much so, workers went to a gas station to get enough for the day. Resident Tony Weldy said even he didn't fully understand how much water he used until Monday.

"I do realize it, but I don't realize what all you need clean water for, I guess sometimes, so washing dishes in the dishwasher even or even taking a bath or shower," Weldy said. BPW Director of Operations Heath Hall still isn't sure how this happened, but the department is already trying to figure out ways to make sure they don't find themselves in this situation again.

"We have several ideas in the works on how to prevent this from happening again, from putting some extra alarms in, to raising the motors up even higher," Hall said. "There are several things in the works, so we're going to try. Many of them very cheap."

Catlett said it's a wakeup call for anyone who takes their drinking water for granted.

"It's terrifying to think about it," Catlett said. "We all count on it, we're all so used to it. We're not ready for it really so we're all just going to have to do our best."

Boil order lifted early after water plant floods

Pity Justice is blind to all that limestone and wood finish interior, Moravian tile work and Terrazzo flooring.

With its landscaped promenade, historic stone fireplace cafeteria and multimedia screen technology, the future Bucks County Justice Center might make one yearn for one of those long jury trials or lust for a lawsuit.

On Friday, county officials led members of the media on a sneak peek tour inside the $85 million, 285,000-square-foot complex now dominating Doylestown's skyline.

Some 520 county workers are scheduled to move into the center in mid-January, said Jerry Anderson, the countys general services director.

Construction is running more than a year behind schedule and 4 percent over original contract estimates. The building is to house the district attorney and sheriff's offices as well as family, civil and criminal courts.

Officials broke ground in July 2011, predicting then that it would open by August 2013. As evidenced during the tour, many in government are quite eager to open, if only to show it off.

On Friday, crews were busy laying the foundations for a covered exterior pathway, leading from the countys Union Street parking garage to the sole, public entrance planned on Main Street.

Curved, tinted-glass windows rise eight stories above the front door. Above, sixth-floor balconies provide stunning views of the borough's downtown district.

Each of the 52 municipalities in Bucks County is to be represented in special tiles crafted by the Moravian Pottery and Tile Works.

Information about each days scheduled court hearings could be posted on computer screens located off each of the four public elevators.

Tile art brightens up Chapelhay Community Playgarden

1:00pm Friday 27th June 2014 in News

ARTISTS took inspiration from nature to create a new tile display at a Weymouth garden.

Around 50 budding artists of all ages popped in to Chapelhay Community Playgarden recently to create brightly coloured painted tiles for the community area.

The tiles will be varnished, fired, mounted on a board and then displayed for the community to see at the garden. The project was organised by the playgarden and Steps club for young people. Youngsters from the club ran the activities while the garden group provided the tiles and the artists.

Clare Sutton, chairman of the playgarden group, said: I used to be on the committee at Steps and it was great to work with them again.

Youth worker Jenny Hart, said: It was great to see our young people encourage others in a peer education role and we very much hope to do other projects with the playgarden.

The playgarden group meets on the first Sunday of the month from 11.30am.

For further information people are asked to contact Clare Sutton on 01305 771180 or email her at clare.sutton@zen.co.uk

My new sprinkler system

The first floor of Trump International Hotel and Tower flooded Thursday morning after a pipe burst during a test of the buildings sprinkler system.

A spokesman for the 96-story River North skyscraper said the water has been turned off and crews are making repairs.

"A pipe burst near the west public parking entrance, which is separate from the main entrance of the building," said T. Colm O'Callaghan, vice president and managing director of the building. "Hotel and residential services have not been affected."

Just before 9:30 a.m., workers were seen scrambling to move certain items outside of the towers southwest entrance near Wabash Avenue as water poured through the ceiling and gushed down stairs.

The tower also flooded on Feb. 15 after a Chicago Fire Department standpipe was opened, causing an estimated $700,000 in damage.

Three men were charged with felony criminal damage to property: Carl Koenemann, 25, Benjamin Nitch, 25, and Daniel Maradei, 24. All three have pleaded not guilty to the charges and are due back in court July 31.

In that incident, elevator shafts flooded in a 10-minute torrent of water from the fifth-floor stairwell. Woodwork, marble flooring and electrical infrastructure was damaged, but the flooding did not shut down the hotel or private residences.

Trump Tower floods in sprinkler incident

Newly installed 20-foot-tall letters spelling out T-R-U-M-P are seen on the side of real estate billionaire Donald Trump's skyscraper in Chicago, Thursday, June 12, 2014. The letters have triggered a war of words between Trump and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel.(AP Photo/Stacy Thacker)

It's too soon to tell whether cooler heads will prevail in the Donald Trump-Rahm Emanuel spat over the billionaire's name being prominently affixed to a Chicago skyscraper.

As for the tower's sprinkler heads, well, that's another story.

The first floor of the Trump International Hotel and Tower flooded Thursday morning after a test of the building's sprinkler system went awry, the Chicago Tribune reported.

The water poured through the ceiling near the 96-floor tower's southwest entrance and gushed down stairs around 9 a.m.

Crews were making repairs as of early Thursday afternoon, the paper reported.

The tower, located along the Chicago River, has made news in recent weeks over a sign bearing Trump's last name in 20-foot-tall letters affixed to the building's side. Emanuel has called the sign "architecturally tasteless," while Trump has deemed it a "world-class sign" that is a valuable addition to the Chicago skyline.

The tower also flooded on Feb. 15 after a standpipe installed by the Chicago Fire Department was opened, causing an estimated $700,000 in damage. Three men were charged with felony criminal damage to property in the case.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
