Summary
Norton, Kansas, is in survival mode as a busted valve on a critical 12-inch water main threatens to shut off the entire town’s supply. Starting Thursday at 6 PM, residents must conserve water strictly to essential uses—drinking and cooking only. Outdoor watering, car washing, and even city sprinklers are banned. With the risk of complete water loss and a looming boil water advisory, the city’s water emergency lasts until noon Friday. A stark reminder of how fragile our underground systems are.
