The freezing weather is causing big problems in the small Oklahoma town of Maud. The city's nearly 90-year-old water tower is leaking about 30,000 gallons of water a day.

Maud is on the boundary between Pottawatomie and Seminole counties.

With temperatures below freezing, that water has turned into a huge icicle.

The leak has caused a drop in water pressure and there are serious concerns over whether firefighters would have enough water if there's a fire.

The city said the leak should be fixed in the next two weeks.
