THANKS FOR JOINING US.
I'M ANGELA DAVIS.
PEOPLE IN BLAINE WEB UP TO FIND
THEIR WATER FAUCETS COMPLETELY
DRY.
WATER IS NOW RESTORED.
SUZANNE ELIZABETH LITTLE FIELD
HAS BEEN WATCHING THIS FOR US.
THIS WAS AN UNEXPECTED
ERUPTION FOR THOSE WAKING UP.
IT WAS A BIG SURPRISE TO CITY
OFFICIALS WHO HAD A BIG PROBLEM
TO FIX.
Reporter: AS THE SUN CAME UP
OVER THE CITY OF MORE THAN
60,000, THE WATER RAN OUT.
PROMPTING SOME CREATIVITY FOR
TEETH BRUSHING AND FOR TEA
MAKING.
THINGS AT THE SUPER RINK
WEREN'T EXACTLY SMOOTH EITHER.
DURING THE 2nd PERIOD, THEY
ZAMBONI THE ICE.
THEY DIDN'T.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO OR
WHATEVER.
IT FELT WEIRD.
IT IS JACKED UP AND STUFF.
THEY QUICKLY FOUND OUT THE
CAUSE FOR CONFUSION.
I TRIED TO GET A DRINK OF
WATER BUT IT WASN'T WORKING.
CITY OFFICIALS WERE SURE
WORKING.
WE HAD WIDESPREAD AREAS OF
PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF NO WATER
PRESSURE OR NO WATER.
SO CREWS CAME OUT.
Reporter: THE PUBLIC
SERVICES MANAGER WORKED WITH
FIRE OFFICIALS TO MAKE SURE
THAT WATER WAS ON HAND.
PEOPLE WERE NOT RECEIVING
WATER BECAUSE THERE WAS NO
WATER TO RECEIVE.
OUR TOWERS WERE EMPTY.
SO WE NEEDED TO FILL THOSE BACK
UP AND RECHARGE THEM.
Reporter: THEY DID SO BY
TEMPORARILY ROUTING IN WATER
FROM NEIGHBORING CITIES LIKE
SPRING LAKE PARK.
IT COULD BE AN ALARM SYSTEM
FAILURE SOMEWHERE.
IT COULD BE A SYSTEM --
ELECTRONIC SYSTEM WHERE THE
PUMPS WERE NOT TOLD TO TURN ON.
WE WILL INVESTIGATE IT.
Reporter: THEY WILL WORK
AROUND THE WATER PROBLEM FOR
NOW, JUST LIKE THESE SUNDAY
MORNING CHAMPS DID.
THEY WON THEIR GAME, EVEN ON
BUMPY ICE.
CITY OFFICIALS SAY UNTIL
THERE IS A PERMANENT FIX, THEY
NEED HELP.
IF YOU LIVE IN THE BLAINE AREA,
USE WATER SPARINGLY FOR NOW.
