Update: Harrisonville Lake Dam Fixed, Residents may return to homes

After throwing everything but the kitchen sink at the dam, the Parks Department and Water Department guys were able to slow the leak from the dam. 

At this point the danger of the dam breaking has subsided and all roadways have been opened back up except Ash Street between Lexington and Bradley. 

All citizens who had been asked to leave their homes may return. Again, great job to all those working to solve the problem over the past few hours. 

If you venture to the city park today please stay away from the lower dam and please be cautious of heavy equipment in the area as work will continue.
