A state of emergency has been declared in Torrey, Utah, which has run out of water following a water main break.
The town’s storage tanks were cut off from the spring that feeds the municipal water system when the main broke. The leak has since been repaired, but the storage tanks remain depleted.
Tuesday, state officials began trucking water to the community just outside Capitol Reef National Park. The director of the Utah Division of Drinking Water said it’s not clear when the main broke, but it caused the tanks to be completely drained.

The loss of water pressure has left more than half of the town without running water for the last four days.
