BAMBERG -- Bamberg School District One has revised its school calendar for the end of the year due to the day of classes the district lost when a water main broke on May 8, forcing Bamberg schools, daycares, restaurants and other water-dependent businesses to close.
The break in the 10-inch water main under Davis Street in Bamberg caused a change of plans for many Board of Public Works customers. Nearly 2,000 BPW customers suffered a drop in water pressure from the normal 55 pounds to about 20 pounds beginning at around midnight on May 8.
The revised Bamberg School District One schedule is as follows:
May 19, 20, 21 -- Regular schedule
May 22 -- Full day of school
May 23 -- Half day of school
May 26 -- Half day of school
