Students are currently going through a drought, desert-wasteland style. Thanks to a cracked water main, drinking water has been put on a month long hiatus. The problem? The water main has been around since the 60’s. Not only that, but gradual corrosion finished the job of killing the water-main. Drinking fountains don’t work, and the staff bathroom is incredibly out-of-order. “We shouldn’t have to buy water, people DO get thirsty,” Valerie Carley said.
Though this water-free environment is a perfect opportunity for the coffee cart, students are tired of paying for water. Fifty cents per water bottle can add up real quick, ESPECIALLY after any physical activities. “Kids need water, you know? Some kids just can’t afford water,” Kelby Pruchnik said.
“It was supposed to be fixed by today,” staff member Scott Gustafson informed. With the water network down, and the fountains occasionally spewing the colorful yellow and brown water, there’s talk of no water until summertime, in which case that’s really ridiculous. Check back soon for further news on this tragedy.
