There has been a few water main breaks during the first cold snap of the fall.
A massive 60-inch pipe broke on Charles Street near the 20th Street intersection causing massive flooding in the area and closing sections of one of the city’s major roads. Another broke late last week briefly closing York Road eventually reopening, but it forced traffic heading both ways onto one side of the street. The city has taken steps to address infrastructure that includes in some cases pipes that are more than 100 years old. But how would you fix the situation? Tell us in the comments section.

Traffic is limited to one lane heading each way on York Road.
The Department of Public Works announced that it has completed repairs on a water main in the 4600 block that broke last week. However, a lane shift remains on York Road with one lane of traffic heading in opposite directions.

Dunk, it did work well last time. Sorry, but the Tea Party history revision is over. The Stimulus package that President Obama signed into law did work.   more ›
