Kitty did a great job of explaining why this story break the yardstick, newsworthiness. She said that this story does not affect a large group of people, which is the main reason why it isn't newsworthy. In this case however, the author could have made it more newsworthy if they had explained how it affected the people in the area. If the pipe break does not affect anybody at all, then there is absolutely no reason that this should be on the news, there is nothing special, this could happen to anybody and most likely wouldn't be on the news.
