More on the East Fifth Street water main break

A follow-up on our previous post... There was a water main break this morning on East Fifth Street between Avenue A and Avenue B...


Several residents said they have been without water since 11 a.m. There's no word on when the DEP will restore service... signs on doors to the buildings say it will be off for "approximately 8 hours" ... Uh, so that would make it 7 p.m.


A few places are closed... (including Goat Town) If you have plans along here tonight at a drinking or dining establishment, then you may want to call ahead... There will likely be some delays in opening...

Yep, still no water. Except for the frozen type falling from the freaking sky.

Seems to be back on, finally, although very little pressure and pretty muddy.

Thanks for the updates, Harry.... Hope that it's all back to normal by now.
