Water restored to parts of Bel Aire, northeast Wichita

Water service was restored in portions of Bel Aire and far northeast Wichita early Saturday morning, several hours after a water main broke next to a middle school.

The water main on 45th Street North next to Stucky Middle School broke shortly after 5:30 p.m. Friday, authorities said. Water was shut off on 45th between Hydraulic and Oliver, Bel Aire city officials said.

Service was finally restored at about 3 a.m., according to a post on the city of Bel Aire’s Facebook page.
