The Omaha Tribe of Nebraska plans to declare a state of emergency due to water woes on the reservation, The Sioux City Journal reports. Classes at the Omaha Nation Public School were canceled earlier this week after a water line broke. It was repaired but several leaks were discovered. “When you have 400 kids in a building without plumbing, that’s not a good situation,” superintendent Tom Carlstrom told the paper. The reservation is now under a boil water order. Get the Story: Water mains break in Macy, Neb.; Omaha Tribe to declare state of emergency (The Sioux City Journal 1/13)
