What led to 24-hour boil advisory in northwest suburbs

A computer problem is being blamed for the shutdown of a water system that supplies three communities in the northwest suburbs, leading to a Water Boil Advisory that lasted for more than 24 hours, KARE 11 reports. The Joint Water Commission (JWC), which supplies water to the cities of Golden Valley, New Hope and Crystal, said the computer issue stopped communication between different parts of the system, causing valves to automatically close in two water towers. Former state Sen. Scott Jensen announced Thursday that he’s launching another bid for Minnesota governor, MPR News writes. Jensen won the Minnesota Republican Party endorsement in 2022 but lost to Gov. Tim Walz by more than 7 percentage points. On Thursday, Rochester seniors and students came together around the table to make friendship bracelets for red cross volunteers, all in an effort to help with Texas flood relief, KTTC says. These kids are part of Rochester Public Schools’ Summer of Service program, and they visited Cascade Creek, an Anthem Memory Care community, for the project. Wisconsin elections officials declared Thursday that the former clerk of the state’s capital city broke several laws related to not counting nearly 200 absentee ballots in the November presidential election, but they stopped short of recommending criminal charges be brought, WCCO TV reports. The bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission voted 5-1 to accept a report finding that the former Madison clerk broke five election laws.
