At approximately 3:30 pm on Thurs. 2/17 a water main broke causing gallons of water to shoot up 10+ feet. After driving to the nearest fire station, I informed the crew and they reported to the scene to shut it off. It took over a half an hour resulting in thousands of gallons lost and causing flooding at nearby business and hotels.
