Officials with Houston Public Works said crews are aware and they’re fixing the issue at this time, however, repairs may take longer than usual.
Customers in the area have not lost water service at this time.
“So it started leaking. I mean, it continued to leak like that for at least a month, but overnight,” said Jim Hatchett, a resident. “Night before last. It must have busted wide open, because when I came down here, it was gushing like Old Faithful.”
Officials said repairs are expected to be completed by Monday.
