School District 57 (SD57) says students will be able to return to Westwood Elementary tomorrow (Nov. 19).
The Prince George district says an aging water line has been repaired by technical crews after it was discovered to be broken earlier this morning (Nov. 18).
SD57 adds it's a water main that services the portables at Westwood Elementary and simply failed overtime.
As a result of the incident, the water supply had to be cut off and students were sent home.
A contractor was also called to help fix the damaged pipe.
Classes will resume as normal tomorrow.
9:30 a.m.

Westwood is in the process of contacting parents to pick up students to take safely home, according to SD57.
The school's water supply is being shut off as crews are being sent to investigate the cause of the damage.
We'll bring more updates as information becomes available.
