A broken water line in Newton has impacted service to customers throughout the city and prompted area school officials to delay the start of school by two hours for students.
Students in the Newton-Conover School System, as well as those attending Balls Creek and Startown elementary schools in the Catawba County School system, will start the school year on a two-hour delay Wednesday morning. The delay is for students only - staff will operate on a normal schedule.
