    KIMBALLTON, Iowa (KCCI) - A water tower malfunction is forcing people in the western Iowa town of Kimballton to use bottles. City officials have told residents it could be a while before the problem is fixed.

AN ISSUE WITH THE CITY’S WATER TOWER CAUSED IT TO DRAIN, AND NOW THE ENTIRE PLACE IS WITHOUT DRINKABLE WATER. IT’S NOT THE FIRST WATER ISSUE FOR THOSE IN KIMBALLTON. A WATER MAIN BREAK LAST YEAR CAUSED A BOIL WATER NOTICE, AND THE CITY WAS IN ANOTHER BOTTLED WATER ADVISORY IN 2023. IT HAS BEEN BROWN AND YELLOW, BUT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT’S BEEN PINK.

THE TROUBLE IS, IT’S NOT FILLING UP ON THE INSIDE. WHEN PAT CROSSLEY TURNED ON HER FAUCET, IT WAS A SHOCK. I THOUGHT MAYBE THE RADISHES WERE LEAKING INTO THE WATER.
