Because of a water main break at Liberty-Eylau Middle School, parents may pick up their children starting at 10 a.m. today.

A notice on the Liberty-Eylau Independent School District website says a breakage Monday was patched but a second break today caused the school "to have very little pressure to operate the entire campus appropriately." A crew is working to repair the break.

"If you are unable to pick up your student we understand and we will operate to the best of our ability with limited water pressure for the remainder of the day," the notice states.
