A water main break <\/a>has caused a powerful leak spewing out onto the road in Dania Beach<\/a>, affecting dozens of residents in the area on Wednesday. <\/p>\n

The water was soaking the road along SW 40th Ave near the Hard Rock Casino.<\/p>\n

“It looked like Old Faithful, like a geyser,” said neighbor Dennis McGowen. \u00a0He said crews have been working in the area. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Broward County officials told CBS News Miami that a private contractor using a horizontal drilling method to lay fiber optic line hit an 8-inch water pipe, leading to the powerful leak. <\/p>\n

“I pulled in a couple of hours ago. I saw the water flying up in the air. I knew what happened because they were marking the sidewalk out here for the past couple of days; they’re doing underground boring,” McGowan said.<\/p>\n

Susan Saver turned on her faucet. “Yep, no water,” she said <\/p>\n

Saver is one of 41 customers without water and is now under a boil water order.<\/a><\/p>\n

“Right now we don’t have any water right now, but they’re trying to fix it. They hit a water main. \u00a0They were doing something underground, digging,” she said. <\/p>\n

She and McGowan re-arraigned their plans for Wednesday, knowing they likely would be without water for a few hours. <\/p>\n

“We went to lunch, and I figured I’m buying something for dinner cuz we won’t have water. \u00a0You can’t cook food if you can’t wash it,” Saver said. <\/p>\n

That boil water order will be in effect for at least two days while the county checks to see if the water is okay to drink.<\/p>\n
