Good morning. The City of Cape Girardeau just issued a precautionary boil water advisory for the City due to a large water main break near the Cape Rock Water Plant.
We wanted to let families know that we have closed the drinking fountains throughout the District and are in the process of delivering bottled water for drinking water.
Our nutrition services staff members will follow the recommended precautions provided by the City for lunch preparation today.
Additionally, the water main break may change a couple of our bus routes until it is fixed. Please be patient with us if buses are running a few minutes behind this afternoon.
More information can be found on the City’s website under Latest News. We will continue to provide updates as we receive more information.
Thank you for your time and have a great day!
