Some Northwoods cities urged to run water

NORTHWOODS - We saw many water main breaks throughout north central Wisconsin last year. We haven't seen as many this year, but with the continued cold temperatures, cities are watching pipes closely.

Only a couple of people in Tomahawk need to run a small stream of water. That was put into effect Monday, but with temperatures dropping below zero, the public works director isn't ruling out more water main breaks. That could mean the whole community would need to run water.

Tomahawk Public Works Department had a couple of people on Fourth Street between West Leather Avenue and Mohawk Drive run their water. They're also keeping an eye on customers south of the Wisconsin River.
