The City of Mountain Home’s Water Department has been hard at work relocating the water main. They started on East Jackson St. and worked their way up Main St. to East 2nd North. To accommodate the downtown businesses, the Water Department crew adjusted their schedules and started at 5:00 a.m. on Thursday, September 19th to break the line. The crews continued working up Main St. from East 2nd North to American Legion on Monday, Sept. 23.
