HOWARD, WI (WTAQ) – Summer is a great time to play in the water, but it was anything but fun for officials at Bay Port High School Thursday morning.
“At 6 a.m. when our facilities staff arrived, there had been a water line break near the water softeners back in a utility area,” says Brian Nicol, Communications and Development Coordinator at the Howard-Suamico School District. “It affected 3 areas primarily, the central commons area, the kitchen and the performing arts center.”
Nicol says the quick action and response kept water damage to a minimum, and only forced school officials to move a couple of classes Thursday.
“They’re still assessing damage at this point,” Nicol says. “Some of the areas that were affected were carpeted, so that would be most likely the type of damage at this point.”
No word yet on what may have caused the break or a dollar amount for the damage.
Summer school classes will go on as normal at 8 a.m. Friday.
