• All Water, Electricity Restored After Major Water Main Break In Middletown (patch.com) — Middletown residents around Campbell’s Junction saw water and power cut Tuesday night after a major water main break at East and Leonardville roads, forcing a daycare evacuation and road closure. Crews have restored all utilities, but the intersection remains shut as workers clear water and check for ice, and the township opened a warming station at the public library for affected neighbors.
