OKLAHOMA CITY (KOCO) — A water main break caused a geyser of water to shoot into the air early Wednesday morning near businesses in northeast Oklahoma City.
The break was reported shortly after 2 a.m. near the intersection of East Memorial Road and Broadway Lane. Oklahoma City Fire Department crews told KOCO 5 that they couldn’t turn off the water and had to call the OKC Utilities Department for assistance.
OKC Utilities Department officials told KOCO 5 that the break is expected to have minimal traffic impacts and water outages because of its location in the grass. They confirmed that three customers located directly on the corner of Memorial and Broadway will have service impact.
Repairs are expected to be made by 2 p.m. Wednesday.
