DARLINGTON, SC (WBTW) – The Darlington County School District reports two schools were without water Monday, but leaders have made arrangements for bathrooms and lunch.
A post on the school district’s Facebook page announced Darlington Middle School and Brunson-Dargan Elementary School are currently without water. However, school leaders say they have arranged for access to offsite bathrooms, drinking water is available, and the food service staff has already made arrangements to provide lunch.
School district spokesperson Audrey Childers says because students have access to restrooms, food and water, classes will continue as normal. No early dismissal is expected, but Childers was not aware of a time the water system would be repaired. Childers did not immediately know what repairs if any, the district was attempting to fix the problem.
Darlington County Water and Sewer General Manager Frank Hough says all service lines are in operation and the water outage does not appear to be an issue on the utility’s end.
According to Childers, Darlington Middle School’s water has been restored, but Brunson Dargan is still without water due to a frozen pipe. Until the issue is fixed, school offiicals will continue to make arrangements to provide students access to bathrooms and drinking water.
