Homecoming Dance Postponed By Horsham Water Main Break
The Hatboro-Horsham High School dance for homecoming weekend was scrapped after a "significant" water main break, officials said.
HORSHAM TOWNSHIP, PA — A water main break forced the Hatboro-Horsham School District to postpone its high school homecoming dance on Thursday night.
School officials said a significant water main break occurred in Horsham, affecting the high school and surrounding neighborhoods. With no running water, from a safety and operational perspective, the dance could not proceed due to issues with the bathrooms and the sprinkler system.
"We understand this is disappointing news, especially given the anticipation and preparation that goes into this important event," school officials said.
