William G Houston Middle School and Lake Shore High School are closed due a water main break.<\/p>\n
ANGOLA, N.Y. \u2014 William G. Houston Middle School and Lake Shore High School are closed today due to a water main break in the Town of Evans.<\/p>\n
The district’s elementary schools were not impacted and remained open for the rest of the school day, according to school officials.<\/p>\n
Families were given the option to pick up students before 10:15 am For those who remained, buses began departing William G. Houston Middle School at 10:30 am, with Lake Shore High School buses leaving at 10:45 a.m. All students who stayed for busing were transported home using their regular routes.<\/p>\n
An Erie County Water Authority spokesperson says crews are working to repair several water main breaks across the Town of Evans.<\/p>\n
The break affecting the schools happened near Nicole Lane on Erie Road and was first reported to the town\u2019s dispatch center just after 8:45 Monday morning. Officials say they are still working to determine whether schools will reopen on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Another water main break forced the shutdown of a portion of Kennedy Road near Lennox Street, where crews worked to make repairs. Evans Police Chief says water entered a nearby home, prompting the Lake Erie Beach Volunteer Fire Department to assist with a pump detail.<\/p>\n
A third break was also confirmed on East Sterling Avenue.<\/p>\n
Officials say the recent stretch of bitter cold and freezing temperatures may be contributing to the increase in water main breaks. In a statement, the Erie County Water Authority says water service is expected to be restored within the next few hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"William G Houston Middle School and Lake Shore High School are closed due a water main break.
