KHUM deejay Amy Berkowitz tells us that there’s a bit of a hectic scene on West Fifteenth Street, near Eureka Natural Foods and the AAA Insurance office. A water main has burst, and the fire department and Eureka Public Works are there struggling to shut it down and get it back online.
Mike Menza, a shift supervisor at Eureka Natural Foods, says that they’ve lost all water to the store, but a city worker told him that they hoped to have it back up by tomorrow. With Thanksgiving around the corner and a lot of business expected … that’d be nice, Menza said.
UPDATE, 8:22 p.m.: Menza calls the Outpost back to say that it doesn’t look like Public Works is going to have the main repaired soon, but that they’ve run a special line to the store so that it’ll have water tomorrow.
