Broken Water Main Closes Perry St.

Perry St. from N. Foothills Dr. to Fairview Ave. will remain closed to drivers this week while City crews repair the street. It was damaged during a water main break that occurred earlier this morning. The water transmission main has been repaired.

According to KXLY.com,
the water main break also created a sinkhole in the pavement about 15 feet wide and five feet deep. It took crews 90 minutes to shut off the water and by that time thousands of gallons had already gone into the streets.
