ELYRIA — Parents are being asked to pick up their children at Elyria High, which is without water after a contractor sliced a water line.

The water problem came about not long after the students returned to school after being evacuated following a threat.

Details are sketchy as to what the actual threat was, but district Spokeswoman Amy Higgins said Elyria police have cleared the building and students are returning to class.

Students were evacuated from the building around 11 a.m. in a fire drill type fashion and were outside for roughly 20 minutes before getting the OK to return to the building.
