EVANSDALE, Iowa (AP) ā€” Water pressure has returned in a northeastern Iowa town after its water tower froze in the arctic freeze that’s covering the Midwest. The Waterloo suburb of Evansdale lost water service for a time Monday, but it’s resumed at a low-pressure level. Mayor Doug Faas says a boil order is in effect until full pressure is restored and water is tested.

The National Weather Service says the temperature at the Waterloo airport got down to 20 below zero Monday morning.
