“After restoring water to 100% yesterday evening, we experienced a pressure surge that led to a 30-inch water main break at about 2 a.m. this morning at 15th Avenue and 15th Street in the West Ward. This break is affecting water pressure in the Vailsburg section of the City.

“Fortunately, the Department of Water and Sewer Utilities has isolated this break, crews are on site, and repairs have begun.

“I want to remind our residents and businesses that a boil water advisory remains in effect in the areas impacted.”
