The morning of November 5, hundreds of Chubbuckians awoke to no water in the their taps.  This after a small overnight snow storm (a little early for the Pocatello/Chubbuck area).

The water main break happened in front of a residence and the Saint Paul Catholic Church, on West Chubbuck Road.

The water had blasted its way down a full city block, flowing over the sidewalks.

Weekend city crews were working hard to solve the problem.  As of  15:00 hours (3pm Mountain time) they began opening up fire hydrants throughout the affected neighborhoods.

Good thing we got snow; time to start collecting buckets of snow so we can flush our toilets! (actually water was flowing through the taps again by 16:00 hours/4pm Mountain time)
