First, write one paragraph that explains which information is the most newsworthy, using the elements of newsworthiness (Timeliness, Prominence, Proximity, Human Interest, Magnitude & Conflict.)
Second, using that information, write a properly formatted summary lead. Your summary leads should be grammatically perfect, around 25 words and emphasize the most newsworthy information.
Construction workers for a new apartment complex were digging a trench for some underground utilities today. They hit by accident a major water main, shattering it, leaving major parts of the city with low or no water pressure. It may not be fully restored for 24 hours, authorities say. Now, water officials warn everyone living North of Zamalek to boil their cooking and drinking water for the next three days. All water used for drinking and food preparation should be boiled vigorously for at least 3 minutes. The boil-water notice affects about 25,000 customers. The break occurred in a 24-inch pipe, a major line running from the citys main water plant. The area was flooded as a fountain of water gushed an estimated sixteen meters upward, flooding the entire construction site near the intersection of 44 Ismail Mazhar St. and Ahmed Heshmat St., and the intersection also had to be closed due to being under 1 or more meter of water. During the repair process dirt is likely to get into the lines and will have to be flushed out.
